Till April 9: Micro Trends, an exhibition of paintings and sculptures by The Progressive Painters’ Association.

The Progressive Painters’ Association (PPA) is one of the oldest art organisations in India, started by the late K.C.S. Paniker in 1944. Members of the PPA include many eminent artists as well as some promising new talent, most of whom reside in Cholamandal Artists’ village (at Cholamandal Artists’ Village)

Till April 20: Exhibition of collages by M.G. Raffic Ahamed and S.V. Prabhuram. Raffic’s collages are well known for their elaboarate and complicated compositions which create surrealistic imagery. Prabhuram’s collages reflect heritage themes (at DakshinaChitra).

Till May 23: Modernist Paradigms, Nativist Leanings, an exhibition of paintings by M. Senathipathi, one of the founder members of the Cholamandal Artists’ Village, and a veteran whose art practice spans more than 5 decades. His works have the quality of timelessness with the artist having passed into history as one of pioneers who configured the Madras art movement (at Forum Art Gallery).
