“Harmony, Unity, and Expression” Exhibition

Ashok Jain Gallery

This event has ended.

Ashok Jain Gallery presents Harmony, Unity, and Expression, an exhibition that focuses on many beloved artistic styles of Abstract Expressionism and landscapes both spirituality and psychologically. The show will highlight the two major design elements that each artist expresses: harmony and unity. The exhibition features artworks from five renowned artists: Günther Börst, Irene Neal, Tiril Benton, Anne Grandin, and Elling Reitan.

Günther Börst is a German artist whose works continuously searches out the “impossibilities” in shape, material, and technique such as color and contrast. In his search, Börst refers to themes of landscape, urbanism and mankind as the main subject matter of his abstract works. With over 100 expositions exhibited in Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, New York and many more locations he has become one of the gallery’s more established artist.

Irene Neal emphasizes color in her compositions as form of freedom of expression. Neal’s process does not express her freedom in creating abstract works, but expresses the freedom of her medium in pursuing the path across the chosen surface. She has exhibited many of her works at Ashok Jain Gallery as well as having collections in North and South America.

Tiril Benton approaches each canvas with a feeling of excitement, wonder, and a sense of adventure, free of any preconceived
ideas or sketches. She expresses an internalized sense of truth which creates an external experience at an intense level. The
archetypal symbolism emerging from Tiril’s paintings has attracted international attention, and Tiril has exhibited widely and won
awards in both the United States and Europe.

Anne Grandin’s landscape paintings are influenced by the Native American culture and their concept of the circle of life. She uses
organic shapes to express her connection to nature; the circle of life. Grandin has received a bachelor’s of science in art
education at The Moore College of Art and continued her art education at Boston University and The Art Institute of Boston. She
has participated in many of the gallery’s show over the past couple of years and continually exhibits her work at The Pen and
Brush Guild.

Elling Reitan compositions are often inspired by famed artist Edvard Munch whom is known by his iconic pre- Expressionist
painting “The Scream” with references to biblical imagery and creates psychological mindscapes for the viewer. Reitan has
exhibited his works around the world and additionally he has over 200 private collections in the US, Asia, and Europe. He has
been represented by Ashok Jain Gallery for over 20 years and currently resides in Norway. Ashok Jain Gallery will be exhibiting
10 of his works at Art New York in May at Pier 94.
