Tantra + Sufism

Aicon Art is pleased to announce Tantra + Sufism, an exhibition that delves into the intricate and often-overlooked connections between two profound philosophical and artistic movements. While originating from distinct religious traditions, both Tantric and Sufi practices resonate deeply with shared themes of spirituality, symbolic language, and the pursuit of enlightenment. This exhibition invites viewers to reflect on these instances of syncretism, showcasing how artists from both traditions have crafted works that explore intersecting ideas of chakras, ritual movement, and the cyclical nature of life through vibrant symbolic representations. By examining how artists utilize symbolic language—such as triangles and ovoids in Tantra and earthy elements in Sufism—the exhibition reveals a unity that transcends cultural and religious origins. The exhibition features a remarkable collection from renowned Tantric artists G. R. Santosh, Prafulla Mohanti, Biren De, and Lancelot Ribeiro, alongside celebrated Sufi artists Sohan Qadri, Rachid Koraichi, and Safdar Ali Qureshi.
