G.R. Iranna, “Make Sure You Are Breathing”, 2002, Fiberglass and Cloth, 192,9 x 45,7 x 38.1 cm
Iranna, a mixed media artist, working mainly with painting, videos and sculptures, explores the inherent containment and freedom of the time and space boundaries. His works are highly philosophical bordering on post-modernism, looks at the innerness of man and the existential crisis of modern life.

Benjamin West, “The Death of Hyacinth”, 1771, Oil on Canvas, 229.87 x 190.5 cm, Swarthmore College
A popular mythological subject for classical painters, the story goes pretty much like this: Apollo and his current boyfriend, Hyacinthus, were out frolicking, throwing a discus back and forth. Apollo threw the thing one last time and his young beau ran to make the catch but missed and was, instead, hit by the discus and killed. Where Hyacinthus’ blood fell, a flower sprang up and was watered by Apollo’s tears.
By any standard, Benjamin West enjoyed a remarkable career as an artist. This self-taught colonial painter settled in London during the golden age of English portraiture and not only made a name for himself, but became the king’s favorite.
He served as president of the Royal Academy of Arts – the titular head of the English art establishment – for 27 years during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a time when there were plenty of native-born artists worthy of the honor.
When he died in 1820 at the age of 81, West was the best-known artist in the English-speaking world. He has remained a fixture of American art history, even though he left the colonies in 1760 and, except for several years in Italy, lived the rest of his life in England.
