Quotes:
“The body of the work I am exhibiting at Chatham Street Café contains all of my recent works and works from the past few years,” said Jain. “This exhibit shows my journey from purely representational to semi-abstract and then pure abstract form of art. As with most of my previous works, the emphasis is laid on color, repetitive strokes and a sense of movement.”
