Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Chennai, Chennai

JtS @ Goethe-Institut Chennai

"The Unseen John Tun Sein" is a tribute to the great artist through an exhibition of illustrations and objects. These artworks have never been exhibited in public before and showcase his sensitivity to the world around him and his mastery in capturing the moment in its fragility and transcendence, with the subtlest artistic mediation.

ARTIST’S NOTE
"While studying at the JJ school of art, I had the good fortune of meeting Professor Kolte. That marked the beginning of my learning. To me, the process of painting is to experience the stream of moments of "rising and falling". Moments of becoming. And the painting is the imprint of that struggle".
