Rebel with a CAUSE

Slices of forgotten Calcutta, deep meditative paintings of nature, politically strident art as protest, and a wonderfully intriguing Avatar series with "pattachitra idioms" are seen in this uncommon exhibition featuring over 100 works by the late, and often overlooked, artist Gobardhan Ash. Curated by Brijeshwari Kumari Gohil and Harsharan Bakshi, The Prinseps Exhibition: Gobardhan Ash Retrospective, is on till April 21 at the Kolkata Centre for Creativity.
