A group show at Bose Pacia, Brooklyn

A new group show at Brooklyn based Bose Pacia Gallery includes works by
Anita Dube, Arunkumar H.G., Raqs Media Collective, Mithu Sen, Suhasini Kejriwal, and Aditya Pande. Here is a brief introduction to each participating artist:

Aditya Pande, born in Lucknow in 1974, graduated from the National Institute of Design (NID) in Ahmedabad in 2001. His mixed media works combine computer graphics with painting, drawing and collage. Computer generated drawings interact with cartoon-like characters and mythical beings to create hyper-imaginative paintings that subvert traditional processes.

Anita Dube was born in Lucknow in 1958. In 1979, she received a BA in History at the University of Delhi. From 1979 to 1982, she studied art criticism at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, India. Trained as an art historian, Dube's work ranges from photography to sculpture.

Arunkumar H.G. was born in Karnataka, India in 1968 and received a BA and MA in Sculpture, Faculty of Fine Arts, M.S. University, Baroda in 1989-1995. Arunkumar primarily works in sculptures composed of a variety of found materials, with the addition of some photographic work and wall reliefs.

Raqs Media Collective was formed in 1992 in New Delhi by independent new media practitioners Monica Narula, Jeebesh Bagchi and Shuddhabrata Sengupta. All three members studied at the Mass Communications Research Centre at the Jamia Millia Islamia University in Delhi. In 2001, they founded SARAI, a reseach center, at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS).

Mithu Sen was born in West Bengal in 1971. She received her BFA and MFA in painting from Kala Bhavan at Santiniketan, and later, completed a postgraduate program at the Glasgow School of Art in the UK. She produces a wide array of forms - drawings, collages, paintings, video works, found objects and installations – to air her artistic concerns.

Suhasini Kejriwal was born in Kolkata in 1973. She received a BFA at the Parsons School of Design in New York in 1998 and an MFA at Goldsmiths College in London in 2006. Known for her fantastic and elaborate paintings that depict natural vegetation and anatomical forms, she has managed to carve a niche for herself.
