Mitra invited us to an art opening of a friend's exhibition. The gallery was in the North in one of the wealthier parts of town. It was a nice space in the downstairs of a house which had been tiled and had raised platforms around the edges for exhibitions. The paintings were mostly canvases hanging from leather and wood bars decorated with carvings of some of the subjects of the paintings. The paintings themselves were figures made up of repeated shapes-- mostly fish-- which were themselves made up of dots.

The colors were warm and deep subtle reds, yellows, browns, and turquoises which were used to create spots of lights. The subjects were deer, fish, and birds from folkloric motives. There were also plant and flower motives merging with the animals. The over all result was one of peaceful beauty and unity of subjects and individual parts that made them up.
