Time : 10:00 am - 8:00 pm
Entry : Free
Event Details : 'The Exquisite Corpse' by UK based visual artist of Indian descent, Uday K. Dhar.
Born in London and having studied art at Columbia University in New York and then in Berlin, Dhar has previously exhibited at various highly respected forums. In 2007, for instance, Dhar’s painting - in acrylic, sand, pigment, wax and oil titled Purva Akash - was part of a show that was displayed during a UNESCO conference in Bali. His works have also been exhibited in places like New York, Los Angeles (US), Berlin (Germany), Budapest (Hungary), Bali (Indonesia), and Mumbai (India). He is also the recipient of the prestigious Jackson Pollock- Lee Krasner Foundation Grant in 2005, and is a 2006 fellow of both the MacDowell Colony and Yaddo.
Says Dhar, who is also a member of the Asian American Arts Alliance: “My art focuses on the common ground between diverse cultural experiences and backgrounds. As an American artist of South Asian descent, I am interested in introducing non-western ideas into the current discourse about art in the US, particularly for an audience unfamiliar with foreign concepts and ideas. The works are the result of research into various things, Indian and American magazines, survey of fashion ads, research and reading of newspaper article, art history books etc. My work changed dramatically in 2005 after my father passed away one month after I received the Pollock-Krasner Grant. But as you will see looking at the older works, one theme links all my works - a deep conviction about translating my Indian heritage and reinterpreting that for a new context with new feeling.”
According to Dr Alka Pande, curator of the show: “Uday Dhar is an artist of Indian origin, and like many global citizens, is at home any where in the world. In this age of a cosmopolitan internationalism, he too is engaged with the fluidity of identities. His work is complex, deeply layered with a painterly, poetic quality to it.”
