When artist Abir Karmakar tells you that his paintings are less about architecture and more about people, it may sound puzzling at first. After all, in his latest solo exhibition, titled Displacement, Karmakar's colossal paintings have the ability to teleport viewers into a home through painstaking renditions of paraphernalia and interior décor. Calendars with prints of divinities, suitcases crammed into lofts, kitschy sculptures of nymphs, and display cabinets with random thingamajigs abound in Displacement.
