The Anne Reid ’72 Art Gallery at Princeton Day School is the venue for “Confluence: Contemporary Indian Art,” curated by Meena Dadha and on view through November 14.

A reception and informal discussion of Indian culture with Sumit Ganguli will take place on Saturday, October 25, from 5 to 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

“Confluence: Contemporary Indian Art” presents a selection of contemporary art that represents the best of modern art in India today. It comprises a collection brought to the United States by Ms. Dadha of Prakrit Arts, Chennai, India.

The artists whose works are featured represent many different styles while maintaining their Indian identity. Some work in realism, some are modernist, some idealistic, and some abstract.

M. Senathipathi has had many solo exhibitions in India, Amsterdam and Morocco and his work in the permanent collection of the Academy of Fine Arts in Calcutta.

Suhas Roy has studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and paints in poetic imagery. His work is in many private collections and the permanent collection of the Chandigarth Museum and the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi.

Deepak Madhukar Sonar’s abstracted landscapes of intensely warm tones have received awards from Art Society of India and the Bombay Society. Among his interests are the effects of global warming.

A native of Calcutta, Dilip Chaudhury, received a gold medal from the Indian College of Art and Draftsmanship. His black and white paintings of the Bengali countryside bathed in monsoon rains are in collections around the world.

T. Vaikuntam’s bold and striking figurative work has been in exhibits in New York, London, and Kassal, Germany, and can also be found in the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi.

“We are truly fortunate to have such a rare collection of contemporary Indian art on view at Princeton Day School,” commented Gallery Director Jody Erdman.
