The M P Birla Millennium Art Gallery at the Bhavan Centre in West Kensington, London, presents an exhibition of contemporary paintings by Punjab-born Jeet Aulakh and Bengali artist Swapan Bhandary from 13 - 19 March 2008 (11am - 7pm). Admission is free.

Jeet Aulakh, a Punjab-born poet and painter paints both landscape and figurative work that are mystical and abstract in style. His figures are often primitive in form, conveyed by strong, bold linear contours over a landscape, saturated in earthy undertones of colour conveying a sense of depth, beauty and timelessness in nature.

Swapan Bhandary from West Bengal deals with subjects regarding man and woman's interaction with each other and nature. His paintings often portray large, striking figures defined by bold brush strokes and colours that are both intensely vibrant and soothing and reminiscent of the cubist period in form.
