BLUE LIKE ME
THE ART OF SIONA BENJAMIN
OCTOBER 15, 2009 – JANUARY 29, 2010
Siona Benjamin is a painter originally from the Bombay Jewish (Bene Israel) community; she now lives in the US. Her rich, colorful paintings reflect the experience of being Jewish in a predominantly Hindu and Muslim India. By combining the imagery of her past with her present in America, she makes a mosaic inspired by both Indian miniature paintings and Sephardic icons. This exhibition celebrates and reflects upon the intersections between cultural boundaries and personal identity, displaying vibrant canvases filled with numerous layers, characters and stories.
