My artist friend, Gitanjali Sukumar, who has recently returned from Sydney, will be exhibiting her paintings and other work at the Alliance Francaise de Bangalore this coming weekend. The exhibition opens on Friday, February the 19th at 6 pm and goes on till Monday, February the 22nd.

A graduate of the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales; her work is a study of nature as interpreted through the beliefs of her Indian heritage. Apart from working with watercolours, oil and acrylic paints, she has also dabbled in sculpture and jewellery making.

Her work draws largely from her upbringing and sense of national identity, and all artists can identify with this, even if their work draws on other factors in life: family, friends, foxy bingo online, sports or music. Her work is of high quality and this focus on Indian culture brings about it a personal level of involvement with her art.

So come on over to the Alliance Francaise de Bangalore and feast your eyes on some earthy creations by an animal lover.
