"Young Contemporaries 2007: The Many Expressions of Young India"
2007-09-08 until 2007-09-18
Aakriti Art Gallery
Kolkata, WB, IN India

Aakriti Art Gallery celebrates the coming of age as one of the most prominent galleries of Kolkata with the showcasing of yet another brilliant show by twenty young contemporary Indian artists. Young Contemporaries 2007 curated by Jogen Chowdhury comprise of artists from various disciplines of fine arts, relatively unknown in the larger art scene of India. Like all show in the past , this year too Aakriti is passionately encouraging young artists offering them a platform to shine and get their talents recognized. Aakriti Art Gallery promotes their artists with a Gallery Portfolio at absolutearts.com.

The show exemplifies the shifting dynamics of art practices highlighting the divergent tendencies that developed due to the rub-off effect of globalization. The exhibition would give viewers to glean the new idiom of modernity growth curve and for artists a fresh perspective to absorb thought processes of their peers. Indian art has come a long way from its overly romanticised visual language-giving rise to several tributaries of trends. Although visual expressions among younger generation artists still heavily leans on metaphoric narratives, eroticism, deconstruction and abstract expressions we are expecting to see a novel visual grammar evolving. It re-affirms the fact that Indian contemporary art is now traversing a fluid stylistic path and the idea that art practices of the East and the West maintain strict geographical binaries, no longer exists anymore.
