Lost Horizon by Amitava Das | Paintings from 1975–2010

August 8, 2024 - September 26, 2024


How do you parse a world between man and animal, forests and factories? How do you punctuate a relationship between artifice and nature? How does one depict concerns about what is living and what is dying? There is a pencil and paper, canvas and palette knife, and a thoughtful mark maker who listens to music slower than his pulse, who divines a pitchfork on the ground beneath his feet as he searches for a lost horizon.
