Sangram Majumdar's 'Offspring' at Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects explores painting as refuge and compressed space

The exhibition 'Offspring' by Sangram Majumdar is on display at Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects in New York City until November 11. A Brooklyn-based artist, Majumdar teaches at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and is set for a solo show at Geary Contemporary in New York next year. His work will be featured on The Review Panel at the Brooklyn Public Library on November 13. Majumdar constructs paper dioramas for his paintings, enabling him to manipulate space akin to a stage. Following the 2016 election, he aimed to create serene painted environments as sanctuaries from external chaos. His artwork reflects on walls and borders, using layering influenced by fresco decay and classical ruins, while his piece 'Alarm' showcases a large blue figure inspired by the demon Thataka from the Ramayana.
