Kolkata, June 23 (IBNS): Painter Sandip Manna recently showcased his art exhibition titled ‘Maatir Taane - Glimpses of Rural Bengal', where he brought forth the multicultural heritage of the state through water color.
The art exhibition was inaugurated by actor Barun Chanda and attended by well-known artists such as Wasim Kapoor and other dignitaries such as Piyali Sen Gupta, IAS; Debanjan Deb, IAS; Sudheer P, IPS; and sarod exponent Arnab Bhattacharya.
The aim of ‘Maatir Taane - Glimpses of Rural Bengal' was is to present the pure and authentic stories of rural Bengal, according to the painter.
He said that West Bengal has gone through many changes in the recent past, including some very challenging ones, yet the soul remains intact, which he tried to translate through his paintings.
Said Manna said, “I’m highly obliged to Rajya Charukala Parshad and Information and Cultural Affairs Department, Government of West Bengal for giving me this opportunity and this platform to showcase my paintings. In this occasion, I tried to present the raw emotions, festivals, effect of politics, poverty, simple living through my watercolour paintings."
Of the 30 paintings exhibited, some of the paintings, such as 'The Mother', 'The HomeComing', 'The Wounded Goddess', 'Maatir Taane', and 'The Artist', drew critical acclaim.
Manna plans to hold an exhibition named ‘Katha O Kahini’, based on stories of Hindu mythology, next December.
