Kolkata: In the time when the deadly second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic wreaked havoc with the lives of thousands of people in the country, Emami Art, one of India’s leading contemporary art galleries is hosting an online fundraiser exhibition ‘Lyrical Sensibilities’, in a modest endeavour to complement some continuing pandemic relief efforts. The exhibition features some of the signed, limited edition serigraphs by the eminent artist Jogen Chowdhury that comprise two distinct styles for which he is widely known — the crosshatchings of flaccid, sensuous iconographies, both Gods and men and the black brush drawings tinted with colours, which show the calligraphic rhythm and simplicity as well as the organic unity between man and nature. A percentage of the proceeds of the sale of the artworks will go towards rehabilitating communities that are suffering due to the Covid-19 outbreak. The fundraiser exhibition is on till June 12 and can be viewed at www.emamiart.com
