Limited Edition: One-time-only experiences curated by cool folk 

Duality runs through Santanu Hazarika’s debut solo art show, Blck, at Gallery Art and Soul. The series of detailed monochromatic paintings represent chaos, and yet there is fluidity to the pieces. Hazarika calls this comfortable turbulence — rough and serene like a river. Amid intricate detail, it’s almost as if the solid tone of India Ink which absorbs light, absorbs its viewers, too, and brings in that sense of calm the artist talks about.

Talking about his approach to the canvas, the self-taught independent artist says, “The process is that there is no process. [The concepts] don’t come from one point of inspiration; it can be an amalgamation of many, fortified by a certain emotion. My play on things is a bit more paradoxical because I like to draw inspiration from things which are poles apart.”
