Tamarind Arts Council presents an evening of live dance and painting performance by the dancer Mrs. Jayanthi Subramanian and the artist A.V. Ilango
Wednesday, 21st of May, 2008. The event starts at 7.00pm.
Mrs. Jayanthi Subramanian is a Bharathnatyam dancer and choreographer from Chennai, India. She has received her B.A. in Fine Arts and M.A. in Sanskrit. A disciple of Guru Adyar Lakshmanan, she has specialized in abhinaya* under Shrimati Kalanidhi. She will perform the Nandi Sol choreographed by Guru Adyar Lakshmanan and extrapolate the nuances of Mr. A.V. Ilango’s paintings, sculptures and installations which
are conceived from the Saivite* philosophy and mythology.
Mr. Ilango will create a live drawing or painting capturing the dancer’s performance.
• Abhinaya is a narrative concept emphasizing on expressions in Indian dance and drama derived from Bharata's work of dramatic theory, encompassing dance and music, in classical India.
• Shaivism encompasses the traditions of Hinduism that focus on the deity Shiva.
Mr. A.V. Ilango is a Chennia based artist. He earned his B.S and M.S in Mathematics
from Central College, Bangalore in 1971 and 1973. Ilango’s career as an artist includes
many national and international one man, and group shows. His work has been presented
at the Salon International de Printemps, Lyon Fine Arts Society. Other exhibitions
include Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai, New Delhi, Kuala Lampur, Singapore, London,
and San Francisco. In 2006, Ilango exhibited at the Indian Consulate in New York as the
sole participating artist. In 2008, his solo exhibition “Bovine Principle” was featured at
the Forum Art Gallery in Chennai. “Bovine Principle” was also depicted a year earlier at
the Art Samar Gallery in Trevendrum. For the first time, his exhibition is now being held
at the Tamarind Arts in New York.
Beginning in 1992, Ilango has been the recipient of many awards. Most recently in 2002,
he received the International Gold Medal at the Salon d’Automne, European Academy of
Arts, Paris. In 1992, he received the ABS Chennai Chapter & British Council Fellowship

Thank you for putting on such a wonderful performance piece, it was truly remarkable! I came with my sister and loved the dancer and ow she explained all of her moves and expressions. The paintings Ilango made that night were breathtaking! I will certainly be coming to more events hosted at the gallery.
The grace of the dancer and the beauty of the paintings really complimented each other.
Thank you for the fantastic event! I will definitely be coming to more events at the Tamarind Art gallery.
I love the lots of events hosted at the tamarind art gallery. Good work makes me to come again and again even though I live in a little far place from Tamarind art gallery.
I hope to see the exciting performance again~!
I was sad to have missed this but am really looking forward to your upcoming dance performance! I think it's great that the gallery embraces all forms of art, whether it be painting, sculpture, texts, photographs, or dance.
