The Newton Free Library is hosting an exhibit of modern art, “Lines in Space,” by artist S.K. Sahni, through Dec. 5.
Sahni’s colorful drawings are an exploration of lines, through which he seeks to build a unique image which is beyond reality.
As he states, “A straight line is pure, unsentimental and unconditional of any subjective feeling but when it is placed in conjunction with other lines, it may evoke in us different feelings, moods, sensibilities or it can act like a reminder to some earlier experiences.”
Prior to moving to Weymouth four years ago, Sahni worked for 23 years in the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi and for 27 years as a full-time painter. He has had more than 25 solo shows of his work, sometimes under the title, “Lines of Vision.” His paintings have been shown at the India Art Fair and international exhibitions.
