All the king's men by Masooma Syed.
NEW DELHI: Safety pins, wires, seeds, bark powder, threads, cloth, paper and more such ubiquitous materials find their way in a group exhibition featuring artists mainly from the Indian sub continent.
Named Tactile, the month-long art exhibition will begin from October 13 to November 13. It features artists from India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan - apart from representation from Germany.
According to Bhavna Kakar, curator of the show, tactile is a quality deeply linked to the sense of touch. "It is a palpable rendition of character in a feeling, a frame of mind, a visceral response," she says.
The participating artists include Anoli Perera (Sri Lanka), Benitha Percival and C Douglas Chatfield (Chennai), Manisha Gera Baswani and Shivani Aggarwal (Delhi), Masooma Syed and Muhammed Zeeshan (Pakistan), Mohammad Wahiduzzaman (Bangladesh), and Thomas and Renee Rapedius (Germany).
While Perera's work is made out of safety pins, cloth, tailor's dummy and wire, Bangladeshi artist Mohammad Wahiduzzaman's work titled, Image + Experience = You, is done in acrylic on canvas and steel. Wahiduzzaman is two-time winner of the Berger award, Bangladesh's highest honour for a young artist. He says, "In my artworks, the vibrant glittering colour of base reflects the surface where two images from fantasy and reality bring me to self - that is 'You'."
German duo Thomas & Renee Rapedius' sculptures are simple and lightweight, primarily made from paper or cardboard and Pakistani artist Masoom Sayed's sculptures are inspired from nature. Titled All the King's Men and Jacob's Creek, Sayed feels that nature is vivacious, colourful and musical and hence sings to its own truth. "The two colourful pieces in the show are inspired by flowers and birds, by plants, feathers and reference to human body," says Syed, who has earlier used human hair in her works.
Also on display would be Shivani Aggarwal's work, Half Knit, based on the usage of threads exploring the relationship between tension and release. Manisha Gera Baswani's works in tea water and gouache is titled How Green Was My Valley and Melting Moments, both inspired from her visits to Mandu.
