Exhibition Opening: Indian Summer by Papia Ghoshal

The Embassy of the Czech Republic presented the exhibition Indian Summer, a selection of works by artist Papia Ghoshal, on August 10, 2022, at 6 pm. Through her work the artist challenges norms to overcome boundaries. Out of the colors emerge powerful messages, where subjects are stripped of their social conventions, hypocrisies and taboos. Overall, Papia’s art is provocative and erotic. It is a fascinating mixture of traditional Indian philosophy, Bengali styles of painting and the European surrealist movement.
