Take in Avinash Kumar’s Illusionary Odyssey at MAG
Avinash Kumar’s IllusionaryOdyssey is now on view at the Memorial Art Gallery. The South Asian conceptual artist’s mural spans the walls of the Hurlbut Gallery corridor, using the architectural pillars in the space to create a sense of environment. The elements in his artwork show the process of life from creation to destination, as manifested by a bird of paradise searching for its ultimate home. Geometric forms within a three-dimensional space show the ups and downs of the journey and create the landscape for the entire composition. Sponsored by the MAG Council, Dogra Art Foundation, and Sarah and Bob Hurlbut. Additional support is provided by Seema and Joe Rizzo. Learn more here.
