Santana Gohain (born 1969) is a contemporary Indian abstract artist.
Gohain studied printmaking at the College of Arts and Crafts, Assam, and earned a postgraduate diploma in printmaking from the Faculty of Fine Arts, M.S. University of Baroda. Having attended workshops in print making with Spanish artist Joaquin Capa and in sculpture with Prof. Jean-Louis Raymond, Santana Gohain has participated in various art camps in India. Her work has been exhibited internationally.
Working with mixed media, the artist produces large, script-covered panels made with multiple layers of chalk, graphite and paper, often in shades of slate gray and white, which testify to her training in and sensibilities for printmaking. Gohain's surfaces are heavily “worked” rather than "painted". In 2008, Gohain said, “Works are not only paintings, working on the surfaces is very sculptural. I use graphite like clay”.
She has participated in several group shows in San Francisco, New Jersey, Mumbai, Bangalore, Nagpur, Baroda, Chandigarh and Bhopal. Her solo shows include one at Nazar Art Gallery, in Baroda (1999), 'Harmony' - a collaborative show with her husband Ganesh Gohain at The Fine Art Company, Mumbai, 'Existence' at The Fine Art Company (2002), Mumbai, 'Silent Speech' in Ahmedabad and Vadodara by Alliance Française (2004), and "Silent Speech" at the Museum Art Gallery by The Fine Art Company(2006), Mumbai.
In September 2007, Santana Gohain was included for the first time in an international auction, the 'Contemporary Art from South East Asia' sale at Sotheby's in New York. In December 2007, Santana Gohain was awarded the 'Prix de la ville de Sarcelles' at the Biennale de la Gravure in Sarcelles, France.
The artist lives and works in Baroda.
