SUMMARY:Dali Comes To India: A Rare Showcase of Surrealism
DESCRIPTION:Bruno Art Gallery in New Delhi proudly presents Dali Comes To India\, an extraordinary exhibition showcasing the iconic works of Salvador Dalí\, one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and a master of surrealism. Over 200 original works from the Pierre Argillet Collection will be displayed for the first time in India\, offering a rare glimpse into Dalí’s surrealist universe. This landmark exhibition runs from 15th November to 13th December 2024\, making it a must-visit for art lovers and cultural enthusiasts alike. \nExhibition Highlights:\nThe exhibition will feature a variety of Dalí’s etchings\, watercolors\, and tapestries\, showcasing key pieces from his collaboration with Pierre Argillet. Some notable highlights include: \n\nThe Songs of Maldoror: A set of 50 prints\, elaborating on Dalí’s childhood traumas.\nMythology: 16 etchings inspired by ancient Greek legends using Dalí’s “hasard objectif” technique.\nSecret Poems by Apollinaire: 18 original etchings illustrating Apollinaire’s poetry.\nFaust: 21 etchings depicting alchemical symbols and magic circles\, illustrating Goethe’s masterpiece.\nDon Juan: Three hand-colored etchings exploring the themes of seduction\, love\, and death.\nIndividual Etchings: A selection of 242 original copper etchings created between 1960 and 1972.\n\nThese works exemplify Dalí’s exploration of the subconscious\, surrealism\, and his unparalleled ability to merge fantasy with reality. Featured works like The Elephants (1948) and The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory (1954) resonate with modern themes of identity\, time\, and the blending of digital and real worlds. \nSalvador Dalí: The Surrealist Master \nBorn in Catalonia\, Spain\, in 1904\, Salvador Dalí is celebrated for his revolutionary contributions to surrealism. His unique artistic style\, which fuses dreamlike\, bizarre imagery with technical precision\, has left an indelible mark on modern art. Dalí’s “The Persistence of Memory”\, featuring melting clocks\, remains one of the most recognized and iconic artworks of the 20th century. \nDalí’s influence transcended painting\, extending into film\, sculpture\, fashion\, and literature. He collaborated with luminaries such as Luis Buñuel and Alfred Hitchcock\, creating works inspiring new generations. His “paranoiac-critical method” allowed him to channel the irrational\, resulting in art that delves into the realms of dreams\, identity\, and existentialism. \nThe Pierre Argillet Collection \nThe Pierre Argillet Collection is one of the most important private collections of Dalí’s works\, showcasing nearly 200 etchings\, watercolors\, and tapestries. The collection has been exhibited worldwide at prestigious venues such as the Pushkin Museum in Moscow and the Dalí Museum in Figueres\, Spain. Pierre Argillet’s deep personal and professional relationship with Dalí ensured that each piece curated reflects the artist’s visionary surrealism and technical brilliance. \nExhibition Dates: 15th November – 13th December\, 2024\nVenue: Bruno Art Gallery\, Savitri Cinema Complex\, Greater Kailash 2\, New Delhi – 110048\nTimings: 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM

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

SUMMARY:Mohan Samant Centenary Celebration - 2024
DESCRIPTION:Introduction by Roobina Karode\, Director\, Chief Curator KNMA\nA lecture by Kishore Singh\, Head of Exhibitions & Publications\, DAG on Mohan Samant’s Life & Artistic Practice\nFollowed by A Sarangi Recital by Virtuso Murad Ali Khan \nMagic in the Square – Mohan Samant\, Centennial Exhibition\, is a crisp exploration of Samant’s practice\, which is also a tribute to the artist. \nMohan Samant excavates sedimented memory\, fossil-like forms\, and totemic imagery from his sand\, dust\, and gravel layers\, raising cut-outs from the primary surface\, thus giving his paintings a three-dimensional effect. They are neither relief nor flat; perhaps this in-betweenness is an adroit extension of his skills as a Sarangi player. The abstract nuance of classical music is translated in a subtle daintiness on his canvases. \nEvent Highlights: \n\nLecture by: Kishore Singh\, Senior Vice President\, DAG (Delhi Art Gallery)\n\nKishore Singh will present an insightful discussion on Mohan Samant’s life and artistic journey\, shedding light on his pioneering contributions to modern Indian art.\n\n\nMusical Recital: Sarangi performance by virtuoso Murad Ali Khan\n\nMurad Ali Khan\, one of India’s leading Sarangi maestros\, will offer a captivating musical experience following the lecture.\n\n\n\nArtwork Featured: \n\nMasked Dance for the Ancestors (Detail)\, 1994 by Mohan Samant\n\nMedium: Acrylic\, oil crayon\, wire drawings on canvas\nPart of the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art Collection\n\n\n\nDate: 24th September 2024\nTime: 7:30 PM onwards\nLocation: Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA)\, Saket\, New Delhi

SUMMARY:KNMA Noida Presents PURVAEE - Evoking Pedagogic Lineages
DESCRIPTION:With great pleasure\, the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art is presenting an exhibition that looks back at a slice of the history of art education in the country featuring rarely seen and historically significant pieces from its collection! \nPurvaee\, the eastern wind\, investigates pathways of creative sensibility transmission and modes of visual representation among the first generations of teachers in two pioneering art institutions in the country\, through diverse chronological orbiting. The core narrative of this show is derived from the masters’ practices\, which converse with the artistic practices of subsequent generations. It reflects on the methods of institutional inducement\, which allowed their acolytes to develop a wide range of artistic sensitivity. Many of these students have gone on to make important contributions to the field of modern and contemporary art. \nKala Bhavana (Estd.1919) in Santiniketan and the Faculty of Fine Arts (Estd. 1950) in Baroda significantly influenced holistic art approaches in India. Artist-pedagogue Nandalal Bose (1882-1966)\, influenced by Gandhian ideas\, believed in artisanal production and a close artist-viewer connection to enhance sensitivities and quality. The importance of comprehending and determining subject matter was generated and proliferated from a principled engagement in Santiniketan by Bose. Mentored by Abanindranath Tagore\, he carried forward and imparted a stylistic lineage that was a synthesis of references drawn from Ajanta murals\, Indian miniatures\, to Far-Eastern linear intonations in ink washes. \n \nBose’s belief in empathetic observation that enlivens the inner nature of objects on pictorial surface\,a prevision sustained by his protégé\, Benode Behari Mukherjee (1904 – 1980) and Ramkinkar Baij (1906- 1980). Such teachings through creative evolution were later found in succeeding generations of artists\, including Sankho Chaudhuri (1916 – 2006)\, KG Subramanyan (1924- 2016)\, Krishna Reddy (1925 – 2018)\, Sarbari Roy Choudhury (1933- 2012) and A Ramachandran (1935- 2024) who traversed the country and beyond as educators and practitioners. Selected works constituting stylistic\, formalistic\, observational\, and methodological criteria from their sprawling practices strike a dialogue with the works of their students Mrinalini Mukherjee (1949 – 2015)\, Pushpamala N. (1956)\, KP Krishnakumar (1958 -1989)\, Vasudevan Akkitham (1958)\, Bhagat Singh (1958) and Manisha Gera Baswani (1967). \nThe exhibition displays works produced between the 1940s and the 2000s\, with one exceptional and renowned work ‘Sati’ a Japanese woodblock print by Nandalal Bose from the early 20th century\, which was critically acclaimed. It will explore the instructive and stylistic transformations that are observed in the works of subsequent generations of artists. Exploring subjectivities and singular representations while focusing on a small area dedicated to the practices of these fourteen artists\, the exhibition will participate in a conversation that is profound and broad at the same time. It will study representational phrases and the impressions that occur as styles\, shapes\, and annexations in a non-sequential manner\, using the masters’ structural drawings as a teaching tool to make connections between similarities and contrasts. With more than 200 artworks from the museum collection\, unfolding its span and richness the exhibition will investigate associations between individual practices\, inter-generational creative dialogues\, and institutional peculiarities.

SUMMARY:Offering - Chameli Ramachandran's Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Vadehra Art Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of artworks by artist Chameli Ramachandran. Offering is a presentation of watercolour paintings taken from the artist’s oeuvre from around a decade ago. The show will open at our modern art gallery space on 27 August 2024 and will remain on view until 16 September 2024. \nChameli Ramachandran nurtures an immersive and entrancing relationship with nature\, which strikes as an impulse to paint the skeletal and spiritual structures of different varieties of flowers\, clusters of shrubbery\, and the canopies of trees over and over again. In her nature studies\, Chameli expands the symbolic vocabulary of these pastoral elements and their parts – through a long list of protagonists\, including various kinds of lilies\, chrysanthemums\, carnations\, orchids\, hibiscus\, silk cotton\, and crotons among others – by viewing them as metaphors for life and death. She notes their sudden budding or blooming as a celebratory arrival of beauty\, grace\, and fragrance\, only to wilt shortly thereafter. The physiological transformations in their existence seem to mimic our own cycle of life\, which is entrenched in an inevitable decay yet remains guided by the promise of consistent regeneration. The dramatic personae she accords to these nature studies varies in curiosity and context\, though they all retain a benign loveliness and connect a viewer – through meditation\, ecstasy\, and melancholy – to the view they hold. They strive for balance\, presence\, and luminescence\, achieved through precise colour\, chromatics\, and texture\, feeling personal and warm while also transcendental. \nDate: 27 August – 16 September 2024\nTime: 6–8 PM\nVenue: Vadehra Art Gallery
