Artist Sujata Tibrewala's Devotee advocating Religious Harmony to be showcased at Chicago Life Forec Arts opening on September 10th
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 31, 2017 -- "Art: The Language of Community" is the third in Life Force Arts Center's 2017 series of exhibits, Art: The Language of... exploring the power of the Arts in Learning, Healing and Community Building. The exhibition opens on September 10th with Sujata Tibrewala' s Devotee.
The devotee depicts an older woman at peace with her face. Though her features look Asian/Indian, her face does not reveal any religion. She could be a Hindu widow with no "Bindi" : a Red Dot Hindu women wear on their forehead. Or she could be a Muslim woman or a christian woman wearing a veil. It is hard to tell by her face, and it does not matter because she is celebrating the festival of colors, a festival which has the power to turn foes to friends. A festival where it is traditional not to refuse to play, even if offered by an enemy.
Thus this "areligious" lady in the painting, wearing the expression of eternal bliss , teaches the viewer to forget their differences, and look at each other's human hearts. This exhibit seems to have come at the right time to spread the message of love , while the forces of hatred are slowly rising up in this great country of America.
