Birendra Pani, the son of a carpenter, in his exhibition "Risk, the Double Edge of Society", has gone back to "excavation". From the recesses of memory, he has infused life in the young and languishing gotipua, who is facing a slow annihilation. The bi--polarity of India is reflected in his work. Pani uses metaphor, allegory, tradition, and the tenets of yoga to build upon his existing language, which is becoming more and more cosmopolitan. The other show, "The Anecdote And Its Shadow", by Tanmoy Samanta presents the material world through banal objects. From August 21 - September 2. At Gallery Espace.
