Archaeologist at the Ancient City – AICON Gallery, New York
A retrospective of the late Mohan Samant (1924-2004)
The exhibition charts his dynamic practice from the early 1960s through 2003 with examples of his heavily textured surfaces from the 1960s and 70s, three-dimensional paper cut-outs starting in 1975, intricately hand-bent wire figures and cut niches that appeared in the 1980s, and finally, the expert melding of these canvas expanding processes in the 1990s and 2000s. Alongside important canvases highlighting Samant’s unique idiom is a collection of watercolor-based works on paper from the 80s and 90s.
