Tamarind Art is delighted to announce its current exhibition Metaphysical Spaces. This show features works by six young and talented artists, all exploring the vast possibilities of abstraction. However, each artist approaches abstraction from a very personal level, thereby creating a style unparalleled and unique.Some of the works carry hints of landscape or still-life, and yet the main focus is on the forms, colors, lines, textures that make up the image rather than a direct reference to our natural world. While others use emotive colors, abstract shapes and surface texture to create visual metaphors for contemporary life. |

- 23 – 28 September 2007
The Photographs of Benoy K. Behl take us on an enthralling 2500 year journey to a time and place where multiculturalism was a way of life rather than a lofty ideal. Distilled from Behl's study of several hundred monuments and thousands of art works this exhibition establishes that every conceivable faith be in Christian, Islamic, Zoroastrian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, or Jain coexisted without division or discord in ancient India. This discovery transforms 'Incredible Diversity!' from a photography exhibition into a profound message from the past- one that gives us hope for the future
