Time :
Event Details : 'A Bridge Between Cultures: Metal Masks, Monoprints, Portrait, Boxes & Face Paintings' exhibition.
Returning to India, American artist Suzanne Benton revisits the changing light from dawn to dark, the mix of birds, abundant plants, astonishing trees, web of traffic, colorful shops, vibrant displays of patterned fabrics, mix of dusty wares, and most of all, the expressive faces of people.
With a deep interest in Indian myths and epic poems, she finds delight in naming works after heroes and heroines of the past, names still charged with hope and symbolic meaning and filled with ancient worlds once inhabited.
Viewers will discover mystical and magical faces in her Metal Masks, Portrait Boxes, and newly created Face
Paintings. As a colorist, Benton suffuses her monoprints and works on paper with a meditative power with
compositions freely drawing upon Indian miniature painting. Visitors will be rewarded by this dedicated artist’s ability to bridge an American sensibility with a learned Indian sensitivity.
