Press Release Body: She is back with her expansive expressions on her canvases -
expressions that remind you of the eternity of the cosmos, of the divine play and
control of color in formless abstractions, of the dance of the light that sometimes
reflects stillness and at others joyous bursts - leading the viewer to an insight of
the brilliance and sophistication that is her. Her works are also showcased in the
annals of the National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi, in the offices of foreign
missions abroad and in the collections of art lovers across several continents.

Kammie Soni, Biren De's meilleur etudiant, blazed into the art world with her first
exhibition in AIFACS in 1962 before leaving a few years later on a scholarship to
the art and design center of the world - Italy. Returning after over 45 years,
during which time her love affair with form, color and light was translated into
designs for Versace, Paloma Picasso and Valentino.
Art for Prabhat is a unique endeavor that works with artists, photographers and
sculptors to help children and young adults with mental retardation receive
education, have access to employment and learn to live independently. With the first
exhibition inaugurated by Sonia Gandhi, Art for Prabhat has organized 6 to 7
exhibitions with leading as well as young artists. Jogen Chowdhury, Anjolie Ela
Menon have been a part of its endeavours as have been Neeraj Bakshi, Neeraj Goswami,
Dharmendra Rathore and Satish Gupta to name just a few of the 380 who have joined
its folds.
Says Dr Madhumita Puri, Executive Director, SFCD and Creative Director Art for
Prabhat, "Art and money have been strange bedfellows that attract and repel almost
simultaneously. Whatever may be the dynamics, we are happy to find that all artists
are eager to help us in our endeavor as do the collectors who come forward to make
our mission successful. This collective effort is very heartening, especially when
confronted daily with the challenges that development work always brings to the
table".
The Society for Child Development provides educational, employment and residential
opportunities for children and young adults with mental retardation to provide some
level of comfort to parents for their constant worry, what will happen when we die?
