From Santiniketan, with love

Puducherry based artist and founder of TASMAI art gallery, Kirti Chandak, goes back to where it all began for her in this solo exhibition. ‘Works from Santiniketan Days’is Kirti’s recollection of the place that served as an initiation into art. Santiniketan, created by Rabindranath Tagore provided an ambience for intimate study of nature and rural life that inspired the artist’s work. A portofolio and t- shirts based on the previous art show ‘Maa’, will be released this Sunday. The gallery is closed on Mondays.
