'Head-A Mystery of Creation' an exhibition of paintings by Somnath C Banerjee.
Somnath C Banerjee has evolved in his artistic journey. This evolution could be marked from painting absences in an inspirational space to the painting of presence in a real space. When he prepares for his major solo show at The Open Palm court, India Habitat Centre, Delhi in November, 2009, one can but recall his early works and ruminate over the kind of paths he has taken to reach here. The journey has been long, involving a lot of experiment.

When Somnath exhibited his works in mid 1990s his ambition was to find a new surface and medium to express his artistic ideas. He chose canvas, like most, as his surface. But his canvas with lot of texture and the uneven surface expressed the fields of a journey, where the aesthetics and beliefs of an artist were well presented. Like every talented artist Somnath was going through a period of crisis and experiment. However, this did not deter him from exhibiting his works. He exhibited them in Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bangalore and other parts of the country and abroad. Now, when we face his works, we feel a sense of resolution in them. Somnath has found his language, we are inclined to feel. He has been wandering all these days to reach here. His ideas are clear and the language chic. His works speak to the onlooker directly. Yet his quest for newer subjects continues. A strange, mysterious creation, the head or the brain is the focus of his highly experimented work this time.
