Art Package by George Oommen
$300This package includes a print on canvas (Unknown Title, 12" x 12") and an accompanying art book (11" x 11"), both by artist George Oommen.
George Oommen is a Boston-based, Harvard-educated Architect and Painter whose art is inspired by the memories of a childhood spent on the spice coast of Kerala in India. His landscapes take viewers on enchanted journeys, reflecting the verdant views, serene waterways and sun-drenched skies of Kerala.
Oommen's art is very versatile. It is tactile, emotional, spiritual and as sensual as the vivid colors of the silk saris that have influenced his Kanjeevaram series. His artistic explorations have created a unique aesthetic style that mirrors the monsoon and the rain-swept visuals of his imagined homeland.
