Sangram Majumdar
Asia Society Texas Center is pleased to present the first-ever exhibition in Texas of the work of contemporary artist Sangram Majumdar. Opening Reception Friday, April 21. On view 22 April 2017 – 10 September 2017.
Sangram Majumdar emphasizes shared points of connection between seemingly disparate cultures, and his paintings act as palimpsests, layered with a range of historical references that are lost and recovered as the images unfold.
His work refers to the cyclical nature of history and the catalytic connections between major cultural centers in Asia and the west.
Born in Kolkata, India, Majumdar has an MFA from Indiana University and a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. He is a full-time Professor of Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), and lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
“As an immigrant I see myself as a cultural hybrid, finding equal inspiration in the prosaic and the theatrical. My paintings are as much a way for me to stay grounded in the everyday as they are to dream and wander. When I first traveled to Rome I was struck how much I was reminded of Calcutta. It is also probably why I have always felt comfortable in the streets of New York. Thus my studio practice revolves around discovering parallels in a wide array of visual spaces, including medieval Italian paintings, Indian miniatures, early video game floor plans, and my own natural environment.
And in the paintings, I embrace this fractured and sometimes opposing logic that are outcomes of crossbreeding these traditional genres of still life, landscape and the figure.” ― Sangram Majumdar
Pictured: in dreams, 2012, oil on linen, 60 x 72 in.
