Event Description : Priyank Jain, Director, Dhoomimal.com presents "Pure Concept" a group show by Top contemporary artists showcasing varied styles of printmaking.
Participating artists are Akbar Padamsee, Anupam Sud, Arpana Caur, Ghulam Mohammed Sheikh, Haku Shah, Jyoti Bhatt, K. Laxma Goud, KG Subramanyam, KS Radhakrishnan, Lalu Prasad Shaw, Rameshwar Broota, Rini Dhumal, Sakti Burman, Shahid Pervez and Thota Vaikuntam.
Says Priyank Jain, Director, Dhoomimal.com: “Printmaking is a complex and highly technical process that needs great patience, skill, dedication and competence making it an altogether specialised study. Prints are made only by artists who have knowledge of the technique, not easily understood by the uninitiated viewer.”
There are several varieties of original prints like lithograph, woodcut, engraving, intaglio, etching, serigraph and many more, each with its own characteristics and must be selected with the conceived results in mind. The virtue of etching for instance, is its wide tonal range including velvety dark shades not possible in some of the other techniques.
Anupam Sud is one of India’s foremost printmakers who studied at the College of Art, Delhi from 1962 to 1967, during the same decade that Somnath Hore was retooling and revitalizing the college’s printmaking department. Anupam was the youngest member of “Group 8”, an association of artists at the college that was founded by Anupam’s teacher Jagmohan Chopra, and was dedicated to furthering an awareness of printmaking in India. She later studied printmaking at the Slade School of Fine Art, University College, London, from 1971 through 1972. It was after her return from Slade that Anupam Sud developed an intense interest in exploring clothed and unclothed human figures through the medium of etching. Anupam found inspiration in both male and female sexuality and identities. Overt takes on social issues are seldom found in Sud’s art, and her figures are often self-absorbed and brooding. However, through symbolism and metaphor Sud engages with socially relevant themes, and moody depictions of interrelations between the sexes are a favorite topic in her work. Sud’s etchings are made with the use of zinc plates, a difficult medium that requires both patience and precision.
Jyoti Bhatt is an artist best known for his modernist work in painting and printmaking and also his photographic documentation of rural Indian culture. Bhatt moved from a cubist influence in his early work, to a lighthearted and colorful pop art that often drew its imagery from traditional Indian folk designs. Though Bhatt worked in a variety of mediums, including watercolors and oils, it is his printmaking that ultimately garnered him the most attention. In 1966 Bhatt returned to M.S.U. Baroda with a thorough knowledge of the intaglio process that he had gained at the Tamarind Workshop in New York. It was partially Bhatt’s enthusiasm for intaglio that caused other artists such as Jeram Patel, Bhupen Khakhar and Gulammohammed Sheikh, to take up the same process. Bhatt, and his compatriots at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Baroda, soon came to be known as “The Baroda School” of Indian art.
Bengal artist Lalu Prasad Shaw worked in printmaking from 1966-1973. After joining the society he started concentrating on etching from 1967. He felt that his interest towards two-dimensionality increased manifold times. In parallel he also devoted his skills in developing the drama of chiaroscuro. In 1967, he joined the 'Society of Contemporary Artists'. Artist Sanat Kar introduced him to graphic prints for the first time. Suhas Roy returned from Paris and taught Shaw the techniques of etching.
Over the years, K. Laxma Goud has worked in various mediums with ease, from etching, gouache and pastels, to glass paintings. He paints everyday scenes replete with village men and women folk and watching him draw a line on paper or on an etching plate is like watching music being created.
Rini Dhumal, another renowned printmaker, was born in Bengal and has studied art, all the way to a post-graduate degree at the M.S. University in Vadodara. A recipient of several national and international Awards, Dhumal’s work is charecterized by her very varied choice of materials and colors. She is just at home painting with acrylic paints on glass as she is with creating a black and white linocut. She is currently a Professor of Fine Arts at her alma mater M.S. University in Vadodara.
Born in 1941 in Delhi, Rameshwar Broota graduated in Fine Arts from the Delhi College of Art in 1963. Soon after his graduation, he joined the institution as a lecturer. Since 1967, Broota has served as Head of Department at Triveni Kala Sangam, New Delhi. The artist is known for his paintings of male bodies, both muscular and emaciated, testament to the passage of time. Over the years, Broota has perfected his unique technique in which he first applies layers of different coloured paints on the surface and then meticulously scrapes away the upper layers of the painting with a sharp knife, to literally unearth his luminous images.
