Event Details : Ram Kumar - Pen & Ink Drawings, 1961 - 1963.
Vadehra Art Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of Ram Kumar’s hitherto unseen pen and ink drawings. Curated by the Modernist Master’s close associate Prayag Shukla, the exhibition provides the crucial link between Ram Kumar’s figurative, landscape and abstraction phases. Most of the works included in this exhibition were executed by the artist between 1961 and 1963 – right after he went to Banaras with his friend MF Husain.
The exhibition includes a set of 60 never-before-seen drawings that Ram Kumar had made inspired by Banaras, giving the viewer an insight into the artist’s masterful use of the line in creating uncanny forms. They are starkly different from the painted landscapes that were to come later. While the painted landscapes invite contemplation, the drawings require concentration – they both hide and reveal objects, animals, places and ideas.
The exhibition also includes 17 black and white acrylic works by the artist.
