Painter Sangram Majumdar to present “the unknown shore”, March 8 at the Beach Museum of Art, Kansas State University

MANHATTAN —Kansas State University Department of Art will present the lecture “the unknown shore” by painter Sangram Majumdar on March 8, 2:30 pm at the Beach Museum of Art on Kansas State University campus.

Admission is free and open to the public.

Sangram Majumdar thinks of his paintings as conversations between the notion of the familiar and the questions it raises through the medium of painting. Working against the factual nameability, the paintings are extensions of this metamorphosis. He has an MFA from Indiana University and a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design. Recent solo exhibitions include Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects, NY; Rothschild Fine Art, Tel Aviv, Israel and selected group exhibition venues include Tracy Williams Ltd. (curated by John Yau), NY; American Academy of Arts and Letters Invitational Exhibition, NY; US Embassy, Sierra Leone and the Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art, Nagoya, Japan. His awards include the 2009-10 Marie Walsh Sharpe Studio Space Program Grant, a MICA Trustees Award for Excellence in Teaching, two Maryland State Art Council Individual Grants in Painting, and two Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grants. His work has been reviewed on Hyperallergic.com, The Brooklyn Rail and the Huffington Post. Since 2003 he has been teaching painting and drawing at the Maryland Institute College of Art and is represented by Steven Harvey Fine Art Projects, NY. Sangram Majumdar lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
