Item No:6 Sarangi - a very important string instrument used in both the folk and classical styles. Its sound is considered to be the closest to the human voice. Made with a hollow piece of wood, covered by a parchment, it usually has three main playing strings but several others for a drone. It is played with a bow. The Sarangi has many variants. What is seen in the Mathura area of Uttar Pradesh is a simpler version of the Sarangi, with a smaller round head, fewer strings and ghunghroos attached to the bow.



Item no:11 Bansuri (Flute) - Also known as the flute, it hardly needs any introduction given its global popularity. It is a simple bamboo stick with one hole to blow into and 6, 8 or 9 holes for producing the notes.

Biography

 Asit Kumar Sarkar collection includes paintings from mono expressionist works to vibrant, bold paintings in the medium of acrylics. His two mono colour paintings from the MANKIND series. - This body of work is symbolic of the human race and how we have evolved . Depicting the pain that is an inseparable part of human destiny, Asit `s works have a pervasive atmosphere of thoughtfulness that raises many questions. His simplistic use of dark areas leaving little for the imagination to wonder at and the highlighted areas keep the mind interested. The minimalist use of sketch lines in the construction of his faces, almost working like a sculptor, here reminded of Rodin` s "Thinker " . The image of a male thinker deep in thought.


" We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts." ( Buddha )

6. SARANGI PLAYER

Indian drama and theatre is perhaps as old as its music and dance. Classical theatre traditions have also influenced modern theatre, particularly the Hindi, Marathi and Bengali theatres. The tradition of folk theatre is alive in nearly all the linguistic regions of India. Today modern days of Indian drama is an attribute to the growing demand of cinema, ( Bollywood film ) that has opened it to the mass. The influence of Indian Drama can be traced back to the great epic period of Indian civilization of Ramayan, Radha Krishna, Mahabharata, and the recent period of the Rajasthani and Moghul dynasty. THE DRAMA OF INDIA - an article was originally published in A Short History of the Drama. Martha Fletcher Bellinger. New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1927. pp. 99-102. INDIA is one of the few countries which can boast of an indigenous drama, unaffected by any foreign influence. When Hindu plays first became known to the European world through Sir William Jones' translation of Sakuntala in 1789, it was then generally thought that Greek literature had penetrated into India, influencing their playwrights; but that opinion does not prevail today. Most critics agree that Hindu drama was neither a borrowing nor an imitation, but the product of native genius.


And finally six small paintings in size: 20" x 24" - This body of work sum up both the areas that influenced the changes and direction of Asit artistic career, tracing back to his family roots of Indian classical music and dance. Asit reverts to his painter brush to convey Indian culture in harmony with music and dance, through his rich heavy textures and brush stokes in acrylic medium, creating images that are close to his heart.
