 SUMMER 2006 |
 |
| Welcome to our early Summer newsletter The spring season has been exceptionally busy. The highlight so far has been the long awaited and successful exhibition Peter Kinley: Painting & Sculpture – a much overdue re-introduction of the work of this artist. We have a packed few weeks from now on, with Grosvenor House opening on the 15 June, the Art Mill Indian exhibition opening concurrently at the gallery, followed by a show of new paintings and sculpture by Jagannath Panda. When things settle down in July we will once again show a selection of gallery artists, including some new names such as Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir (see below). Work on the new look website is well underway, we do remind you to visit www.osbornesamuel.com to see much of the gallery inventory plus information about shows and art fairs past, present and future. We look forward to seeing you in the gallery Peter Osborne / Gordon Samuel Click on any image below for link to our website

He has won the Lalit Kala Academi Award in 1990 and All India Fine Arts and Crafts Society Award, Delhi in 1996. The artist lives and works in Delhi. |
The paintings of Jagannath Panda…are illuminated by their teasing play between the erasure of time and its insistent presence. In the works, moral propositions suggest themselves, by the individual as witness/inhabitant of these spaces, as rightful legatee of the resources of water, earth, air to a state of somewhat cynical spectatorship… The pleasure in the viewing of these works is in the pungent aftertaste of the unexpected combination of seemingly everyday elements rendered with a touch that is masterly playful and light. The Hindu, Oct 21, 2005
It has been a fascinating journey which took Panda from the culture of Vaishvan in Puri where his father was a priest at theJagannath temple to this prominent position as a leading contemporary Indian artist on the international stage. |

FEATURED ARTIST |
| SCULPTURE BY STEINUNN THORARINSDOTTIR Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir is an Icelandic sculptor born in Reykjavik, Iceland in 1955. Steinunn´s sculpture is elemental, extracted from raw material at its most base level; iron, glass, aluminium. It is not decorative nor can it be. The human figures are formed by the mass of the metal, taking shape as they emerge into the light from a molten swamp, rising up and stretching out, embracing our world but not of our world. There is solitude and pathos, but also strength and dignity. Great sculpture resonates with its environment, and Steinunn´s work is at its most powerful and provocative when it re-defines its natural surroundings. “Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir put forward man as the principal subject in her first shows over two decades ago. This marked the beginning of a transition, that has been ongoing ever since where the fate of man has become the subject of an ever increasing number of artists. The analysis of the human condition is the central point in the works of Steinunn Thórarinsdóttir and has as such been among the most graceful evidence of this emphasis in sculpture during the last two decades.” EIRIKUR THORLAKSSON director of the Reykjavik Art Museum |
