NEW YORK, NY, March 28, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- It has been nearly a year and half since Tamarind Art has been able to showcase one of its most powerful and thought provoking artists, Kamal Mitra. Tamarind Art Council would like to welcome art connoisseurs back to the gallery with a second solo exhibition, "Oblique Memoir", featuring oil,
acrylic and charcoal on canvas consistent with critically acclaimed exhibitions of the winter of 2006 and the fall of 2007.
This spring collection will continue an array of canvases elaborating the human body charged with introverted emotion, while forcefully reiterating personal myth using spatial excess to repeated images. Mitra's art has been known to exude a sense of vulnerability, contemplation, and captivity, as envisaged in "Captive II" and "Scripted Wall", where the protagonist gives its viewers a compelling image of silence and submission. The human figure or parts of the body such as the hands, the back, and the face, are used to portray the deep emotions that run through the canvases unveiling a narrative. The hypnotic gaze of the protagonist invokes the viewer to experience feelings, thoughts, and attitudes of the artist's internal turmoil. The poignant discourses in Mitra's paintings are depicted through constant grasping and clenching of hands, which portray a very delicate yet powerful imagery.

Exhibition runs through: March 19-April 30, 2009
