Indian Summer
featuring the works of artist
Papia Ghoshal
The Embassy of the Czech Republic will present 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. Ambassador Hynek Kmoníček will open the event.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
