Punjab Lalit Kala AKademi to organise photography exhibition

Punjab

Lalit Kala AKademi

is organising an Exhibition of Contemporary Photographs by Abhishek Sharma, at Punjab Lalit Kala Akademi Gallery, Punjab Kala Bhawan, which is opening on January 3. Through this exhibition the Akademi seeks to expose the art lovers of Punjab and Chandigarh to the shifting focus of the photography from the mundane to a highly conceptualized world of images and concerns. The artist’s effort to expand the scope by pushing the boundaries of the medium is a compelling viewing for those who love to explore the possibilities in any given area of human concerns.
Abhishek Sharma did his MFA Photography from New York. His work encompasses photography, video sculpture, art applications, and installation. He was most recently featured in exhibitions at the Pingyao International Photography Festival, La Marcha de Mayo
