Iranna will particularly share how to experiment with and on paper with Japanese ink, marble dust and some other materials.

His most recent solo show, Tempered Branches, was held earlier this year at the AICON Gallery in New York. It comprised several important recent series of paintings, along with a monumental wall drawing and installation piece. The exhibition demanded a critique of our popular conception of growth and development, both in nature and human thought.
