Catch call of brahmaputra, a group show of paintings, graphics and sculpture
Catch call of brahmaputra,u00a0a group show of paintings, graphics and sculpture
They are mad, extreme and live in a world of their own. This time this group of seven artists have come together to put up an exhibitionu00a0 titled Call of Brahmaputra which has paintings, graphics, installations and sculptures. All the seven are originally from Assam and came together for the first time to put up this show.
For the love of it all
The show has not stuck to a central theme as the artists feel that themes are boring and they just wanted to put out their work randomly. Delhi-based Kareem Khan, 52, is the oldest member of the group, and is a self-taught artist. He claims to be a loner and a dreamer. 
"I paint because it gives me something to do apart from wondering," said the rather distracted artist.
Five of his paintings, acrylic on canvas, are on displayu00a0-- The Khartoun, The Untitled, Pandit, Mother India and Paradise lost. He sells books in Nehru Place when he is not busy with an art show. Khan has his own ways of dealing with things, whether its art or life. The other sixu00a0-- Navakash, Manoj Priyam, Ranjit Rabha, Harekrishna Talukdar, Bijoy Deori and Rajib Kalitau00a0-- are young and full-time artists.
