Sunit Kumar, Director, Kumar Gallery says: Celebration 2010 dwells on Indias blooming modern artistic endeavour through a historical framework, bringing some of Indias most revered post-Independence modern masters along with contemporary artists. Some of the works on display are by master of crosshatching, Ashok Bhowmicks Bull and Bird Series that has been inspired from the Bronze Age and Indus valley civilization; K.S Kulkarnis paintings which depict the world of the Indian peasant, a world still throbbing to the drum-beats of the folk-dancers, swaying with rapture to the hypnotic melody of the shepherds flute, jogging along in the ancient bullock-cart; Prodosh Das Guptas love of the body - of man, woman or trees - links his work with the great tradition of Indian sculpture. As for master-abstractionist, Sohan Qadri, he uses signs reminiscent of tantrik and ritual symbolism which epitomizes energy or Shakti which moves. Another self-taught artist, abstractionist and a bureaucrat in Indian Revenue Service, Sangeeta Gupta wields the brush with finesse, suggesting the viscosity of ink, the glossiness of lacquer, the mist of heights, the glow of the sun, and the inherent palette of rocks when wet and though recognized as a water colourist, Paresh Maity is equally at ease with oil on canvas as is evident in his work titled Rani.
