Press Release

We are pleased to present painting, sculpture and photography by artists who use light as a medium. These artists draw on light’s unique properties to define form, challenge visual perceptions and create extraordinary sensory experiences.

Pakistani-American artist Anila Agha laser cuts elaborate patterns into metal to create immersive large-scale light installations. When lit from within, they cast mesmerising floor-to-ceiling shadows that transform the surrounding environment.

Inspired by the brilliant glow of neon signs on the streets of Tokyo, New York-based Japanese painter Hiroshi Senju uses fluorescent pigments. These cascading waterfalls appear black and white in daylight, but under ultraviolet light, fluoresce a brilliant electric blue heightening the sensation of rushing water.

London-based photographer Karen Knorr creates sumptuous, layered imagery using her keen understanding of natural light to transform historic architectural settings in Asia and Western Europe into luminous environments, where the line between reality and illusion is blurred.

Also on view will be work by German-born artist Udo Nöger, Korean artist Chun Kwang Young, Japanese and American artist Miya Ando, and Beijing-based sculptor Zheng Lu.

About the Gallery

Established in 2000 in New York City, Sundaram Tagore Gallery represents established and emerging artists from around the globe, specialising in work that is aesthetically and intellectually rigorous, infused with humanism and art historically significant. The gallery was founded with a mission to show that some of the best and most meaningful art was being created by artists deeply engaged in cross-cultural explorations. Our international roster of artists cross cultural and national boundaries, synthesising Western visual language with forms, techniques and philosophies from Asia, the Subcontinent and the Middle East. More than twenty years later, we continue to champion artists, particularly women and those from underrepresented cultures, whose work exemplifies our interconnectedness.
