Event Details : 'Critical Narratives in Colour and Form' a group show by seven British artists, curated by British artist and educationist Angus Pryor, Senior Lecturer & Director, School of Arts, Medway, University of Kent, UK. The exhibition, featuring works by Angus Pryor, Mavernie Cunningham, Jez Giddings, William Henry, Mark Howland, Chris Hunt and Aya Mouri.
About the exhibition, Grant Pooke says: “ 'Critical Narratives in Colour and Form aims to explore how a range of UK artists continue to re-fashion their practice in relation to aspects of narrative and biographical storytelling - traditions which remain prominent within aspects of contemporary practice by some artists in India.'
Says curator and artist Angus Pryor: “Critical Narratives in Colour and Form places a deliberate emphasis on painting and print making – essentially wall-based, two dimensional practice. Although storytelling as a distinct, narrative tradition is well established within and across the visual and religious cultures of India, it has often been pictorially lost within more recent British practice. One of the aspirations behind this selection of work is to suggest a modest contribution towards re-establishing the viability of this tradition, either as personal biography or as the mediation of a broader range of cultural and social histories, within a strand of contemporary art making. A shared sense of re-appropriation, re-fashioning and reinvention, which frequently combines genres, associations, iconographies and motifs, is one of the common links which informs the selection of work shown here.”
In a unique art education programme, Dr Alka Pande, Director, Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre, brings to the city an interactive workshop and art exhibition that will not only be an opportunity for art writers to participate in a two-day lecture and seminar-based workshop conducted by Dr Grant Pooke (Senior Lecturer in the School of Arts, University of Kent, UK) but also view the artworks by seven reputed British artists in a parallel event at Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi.

Says Dr Alka Pande, “Both the visual art exhibition curated by Angus Pyror and the critical writing workshop devised by Grant Pooke is very much part of my deep commitment to arts and education.
