Ashok ModyさんとRajul Shahさんによる
織物、アップリケ、油絵具で金色や銀色に着色された金属板を含む混合メディアアート等、様々な形で創られたインドの象徴的なシンボルの作品展が開催しています。
広々としているEAST館101のスペースは半分に分けられ、左側はAshok Modyさん、そして右側はRajul Shahさんの作品がずらりと飾られています。
会期の初日はパーティーが開催され、夕方頃には沢山の知り合いの方々が来られて、とても賑わう空間となっていました。
ほんの一部ですが、お二人の作品をご紹介致します。
こちらの華やかでエレガントな雰囲気が溢れるのは、Rajul Shahさんの油彩作品です。
鮮やかで優しい色合いで描かれた幾何構成のような模様が特徴の１つです。
近くで見ると、なんと花をモチーフにした、宝石とパールで貼られた模様が絵の一部となっています。
女性らしくてアジアンテイストのある雰囲気が感じられます。
こちらにはAshok Modyさんの人物をメインにした絵画作品が飾られています。
黒ベースの布の上に鮮やかな色を使い、光と影を強調した人物の顔と姿から強いインパクトが感じられます。
展示は本日（10/2）が最終日！
是非この二つインドでしかない独特な雰囲気をご堪能ください～♪

__Concept__
Artwork will include Acrylic Portraits of Mahatma Gandhi on Canvas by Ashok Mody.
Mixed Media artwork, including gold, silver and colored metal leaf, with textile, applique and oil on canvas will show Indian Iconic symbols in figurative abstracts.
Come experience a bit of India as we celebrate the Birthday of Mahatma Gandhi with an exhibition highlighting the moments and philosophies of his life that brought peaceful revolution and icons from the country he loved. The Spirit and Joy of India can be found in many images; but none so vivid as the festive colors of joy that depicts the attitude of India toward life. Icons such as the Peacock, the Lotus, the Sun and Moon, the Mandela and others signify prosperity, purity, grace, eternal love, and rebirth. The pursuit of spiritual harmony, joy and peace will be evident in the character of the artwork.
