Priti
Ghosh is a resident of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram at Pondicherry
in South India, where she studied from childhood under master
painters, finally training in oils and watercolors under Shri
Sanjiban Biswas.
Under Sanjiban, she blossomed into an artist in her own right,
finding an authenticity of theme and depiction that speaks directly
of her deepest concerns.
For Ghosh, art is the expression of visionary states depicting
the drama of an inner life, where embodied aspiring forces enact
the movements leading to spiritual transformation. Painting in
oils on canvas, she combines the executional strength of the western
masters with the mysticism and visionary content of India.
An intense lyricism sometimes informs her paintings, straining
the bounds of form towards abstraction.
Ghosh's solo exhibitions in India have been acclaimed by reviewers.
