solo showof the paintings and works on paper
by Indian born Marin painterAmrit Rai.
Amrit Rai was born in Delhi and moved to the
San Francisco Bay Area when she was six years old.
After secondary school Rai studied painting and drawing
at Parsons School of Design and the Art Students League
in New York. After her studies she returned to San Francisco
and began studio practice. In the mid 1980’s she moved
to Mill Valley, where she continues to live and make art.
Of her art Rai states; “Color is a central concern
in my work. I am a formal painter in that regard.
I love playing in the field of visual dynamics of color,
composition, line, shape, space and light.
The meaning in my work comes directly out of the making.
I love accidental combinations and how
one color impacts another by its proximity.”
