With
CIMA’s new exhibition, ‘Shape Without Form, Shade Without Colour’, having been
inaugurated yesterday at the art gallery on Ashutosh Chowdhury Avenue, viewers
can, till December 21, witness the works of a wide variety of artists — from
Bikash Bhattacharjee, Jogen Chowdhury and the late M.F. Husain to Ram Singh
Urveti, Jaya Ganguly and Sonal Varshneya.
Particularly
interesting is Poison, an evocative art installation by artist Bimal
Kundu, which grips the viewer with its haunting symbolism. A headless body lies
shrouded in faded leather, the absence of a head punctuated by the cold, blue
glow of an LED light — an unsettling representation of poison coursing through
the veins of individuals and the nation at present. You can also see a serpent
slithering up its chest, a timeless emblem of danger and deceit, amplifying the
work’s foreboding resonance. Through this stark, minimalistic tableau, Kundu
masterfully provokes introspection on humanity’s collective struggles and the
slow poison of a nation in decay. Don’t miss this, and more, at CIMA Gallery!
