Visions of Kerela
This exhibit will feature both large and small-scale paintings inspired by the artist's homeland in India. Oommen's newest series, Kanjeevaram, will be featured for the first time. The classic Southern-Indian bridal saris known for their bold, bright color inspire these new works.
Born in Munnar, Kerala, India, and educated in India, Mexico, and the United States, George Oommen continues to derive artistic inspiration from the lush green landscapes of his homeland.
Every winter, Oommen visits Mankotta, a small island in the inland waters of Kerala in southwestern India, ten miles from Oommen's ancestral home. The weeks spent there fuel his painting year round.
10% of the proceeds from the sales of Oommen's work ! will be donated to the Association for India's Development (AID), Boston Chapter. AID is a voluntary non-profit organization committed to promoting sustainable, equitable and just development in India, by working with grassroots organizations and movements in India
