Contemporary Indian Art:
Gallery Talk led by Deeksha Nath
Dray Walk Gallery, London
February 16, 2007 |
| |
|
Deeksha Nath, art historian and
independent curator, walked viewers
through Here and Now: Young Voices
from India, the final exhibition in Grosvenor Vadehra’s
three part series on Indian art from
post-independence to the present
day. The series, which has featured
artists from four generations,
finished with a showing of
twenty-four leading contemporary
Indian artists. Deeksha led a discussion on the
current |
|
|
|
tensions in contemporary Indian art.
India has witnessed the emergence of a new
generation of artists. Their pioneering
works have forced us to question our assumptions about Indian art as they break
from tradition into new mediums and styles.
Artists Rajnish Kaur, Shibu Natesan, Sumedh
Rajendran, Mithu Sen and Anjum Singh
presented their personal journeys as
practicing artists. |
| |
| Deeksha studied at the MS
University, Vadodara, and at the
City University, London, and has
worked at the Tate Modern, London,
and the NGMA, New Delhi. |
