SUMMARY:FARASNAMA : Legend of the Horse by Muzaffar Ali
DESCRIPTION:Artist and filmmaker Muzaffar Ali’s exhibition at Bikaner House’s CCA building\, Delhi\, will celebrate his love for creating works that range from sketches over four decades to a new set of canvases and bronzes on his favorite subject – the horse. Muzaffar’s art is an organic\, rare blend of cinema and painting. The former scales the cinematic terrain of films and the latter explores the\nactile zone – painting art. \n \nMuzaffar Ali is a Sufi in his art as well as his belief in the universal ethos of nature and man. Paintings through the mind of a filmmaker are sensitively curated by art historian and scholar Uma Nair. The exhibition is split into thematic considerations establishing the symbiotic connection of the left and right hemisphere of his mind. It begins with sketches of horses as well as a series of sketches on Rumi\, his favourite muse\, as a preparation of a feature film\, transcending into portraits of Zooni\, a legend from Kashmir\, which lingers like an unfinished poem in the artist’s mind. \nExhibition Details: \nOpen to Public: 19th October – 28th October\nVenue: Centre of Contemporary Art\, Bikaner House\nTiming: 10 am – 6 pm\nCurated by: Uma Nair\nAdmission to exhibitions is free

SouzaFN Souza is closely associated with and represented by Dhoomimal Gallery for over 4 decades. He had exhibitions at the gallery from the 1960’s to the late 1990’s. As a founding member of the progressive artists group in Bombay\, the Modern Indian Art artist broke traditional art boundaries and embraced a new style of thinking and painting\, inspiring generations to embrace art as an important medium of expression. Though\, his personal art was often criticized for being too personal\, it set him apart from his contemporaries. His work\, including head\, landscape\, still life\, and figures\, reflected his emotions and experiences. His self-portraits\, depicting his scars and emotions\, and his struggle between ego and acceptance were quite evident in his work. His greatness lied in his power of lines and bold use of color\, as well as his use of chemical alterations on paper in the 1960s.
