Indian artist's exhibition draws rave reviews

LONDON: The 'Kaleidoscopic Images', an exhibition of paintings by an Indian artist has attracted rave reviews in London.

"The response has been very nice and some of them raving," Ranjeeta Kant, the artist, said as curtain on the five-day exhibition at the Nehru Centre here came down last night.

In all 21 works of art, including 8 large ones, were on display. "Every one responded to the colour and my images, mostly rural women," she said.

Painting has been a passion for Kant, since her childhood. She did her masters in Anthropology and had formal training in Art at Triveni Kala Sangam under the guidance of Rameshwar Broota.

She has worked extensively in the field of  designing in Delhi and Kerala. She had the experience of designing textiles for an interior project and got it executed at the Comtrust Handloom Centre at Calicut.

She has also designed furniture using rubber wood, for the public library in Calicut and stain glass painting for a private project.

Kant has several successful solo shows to her credit. She recently attended a workshop on Egg Tempara by the French artist Christian Purad held at Experimental Art gallery at India Habitat Centre and participated in a number of group shows and art camps.

Her works are part of important private collections in India and abroad.
