Anjolie Ela Menon “By the River”

Aicon Gallery

This event has ended.

Aicon Art presents By the River, a major New York solo exhibition by renowned Indian painter Anjolie Ela Menon. Throughout a career now spanning over fifty years, Menon has steadfastly remained a pioneering figurative painter, often in defiance of current trends. Her work metamorphosizes the visual matrix of our times through her use of a renaissance-like technique, which has earned her the sobriquet of ‘Wanton Fabulist’ from New Delhi based curator and critic Gayatri Sinha. The exhibition features a series of pastoral landscape paintings coupled with tender portraits - all realized through a period of isolation borne of the global lockdown. Menon invokes the wholesomeness of touch and intimacy as a way to heal from the isolation and uncertainty of her surroundings. We sincerely hope you can join us at the opening reception.
