Minimal, dream-like, traces of memories and living spaces in which we have grown up, Hiran Mitra
\npoignantly captures the essential feeling in his paintings. In a vibrant combination of black, red and
\nearthly hues, he opens for us, that in-between moment when we feel like dreaming and imagining
\nsomething intimate outside the hectic reality. Time slows down for us.<\/p>\n
Influenced by nature, folk music and dance forms, Hiran has contributed significantly to the visual
\nstimulus in eastern Indian films, television, theatre and literature in the last two decades. He makes us
\naware that the human condition exalts in the twilight zones of reality and time, offering a precious
\nintrospective escape route. A dense black or the soft shadowy forms are the positive and definitive state
\nfrom which one can start exploring. Using primarily brush strokes, layered washes and sprays, in a
\nrefreshing set of colours or hues of black and often masking the surface he lets the viewer nearly create
\nhis own image.<\/p>\n
Art Border Line, UK is proud to be exhibiting \u201cPaper Landscapes\u201d, his abstract paintings and drawings
\non paper that have rarely been shown to the public. The body of the show explores the mental
\nlandscapes we derive and preserve from our environment. While the artist\u2019s canvases are more well
\nknown, these expressions on paper are more intimate and immediate as they narrate the vital steps
\ntaken in his forty years career.<\/p>\n
On the same occasion Mr. Gerard Xurigeura, renowned Art historian and exemplary commissioner of
\nglobal Symposiums, Biennales and Monumental sculpture park, will be presenting \u201cShadows\u201d a
\nmonographic book on selected periods of Hiran\u2019s images and their language.<\/p>\n
We are also happy to announce the artist has been selected to be part of the Florence Biennale in
\nDecember 2007 and will be showing solo exhibits in Paris and Mumbai of his recent canvases.
\nART BORDER LINE, UK is the creation of Saji Mitra, passionate art lover, long standing collector and
\nentrepreneur. ABL promotes artists worldwide and creates an interactive space for Collectors, Curators,
\nCritics and Artists to generate exciting ideas and extraordinary Art. Keeping with the free spirit of the

\nHiran Mitra broke away from the academic fine arts approach after his Art degree in Government Art
\nCollege of Calcutta, to build a movement in abstraction and chromatic philosophy surrounding motion
\nand light. Since 1966 he has over 10 major solo shows in India and England. Important group
\nexhibitions such as \u201cContemporary Forms\u201d at Cima Gallery, \u201cColor palette\u201d at the India Habitat Centre,
\n\u201cArt & Bread, Kunst au Indien, Curated by Hannalore Christ in Hamburg, Artists of the Millennium,
\nCalcutta Townhall Museum have marked his global public. Resident artist of Lalit Kala Academy he
\nprefers to travel while experimenting with new forms, techniques and concepts in drawing, painting and
\nphotography. Hiran\u2019s live painting performances on Body art, Dance troupes and Film art directions
\nhave often lead him to challenge boundaries between seeing and being animated by Art. He lives in
\nKolkata and loves exploring the star-studded sky through ever bigger telescopes.<\/p>\n
\n3NG from 19th to 24th March, 2007., 10am-7pm daily with the presence of the artist.<\/p>\n
