Sohini Banerjee's 'Visage' Exhibit Celebrates Human Face's Endurance
An artist named Sohini Banerjee has a new art show called 'Visage'.
She paints faces, but not just to show what people look like.
She paints to show how faces can show strength, even when people have been through hard times.
She believes beauty is not about being perfect, but about what you see when you look closely.
She painted faces she saw in many different places around the world, like Kenya and Thailand.
These faces tell stories of mothers, workers, and strong people.
Sometimes, she even paints faces in everyday objects, like a broken jar or a cat, showing that we can find human qualities everywhere if we look with the right eyes.
The show uses paintings and drawings to share her ideas about beauty and endurance.
Sohini Banerjee's solo exhibit 'Visage' features paintings focused on the endurance and beauty of the human face.
The exhibition at AIFACS presents over five years of the artist's work, opening on November 15 for seven days.
Banerjee believes beauty is found in the act of looking, not in fixed ideals, showcasing faces that have survived hardship.
Her work draws inspiration from diverse global locations, translating encounters into depictions of resilience, dignity, and faith.
The exhibit extends to drawings and still lifes, finding faces and human qualities in inanimate objects.
Padmashree Biman B Das inaugurated the exhibition.
