Event Description : EXHIBITION of Satish Gujral’s own private collection by Gujral Foundation.
This month-long exposition will draw from the key artistic moments of the nine decades of Gujral’s life and is a tribute to the zeitgeist of modernism as seen and portrayed by him. Over 70 original works of art will be juxtaposed with rare archival photographs spanning his life, and the remarkable people from the 20th century who touched his life, and vintage images of works that have long left public memory.
The protean talent and vast oeuvre of artist Satish Gujral mirrors the trials and
tribulations of a fledgling nation. Gujral began his career in 1947 with dramatic paintings
named the ‘partition series’ that captured and symbolized the trauma of the
subcontinent’s partition resulting in the creation of India and Pakistan. Crucially, memory
as metaphor shadows his work, with characters appearing as leitmotifs across the many
mediums he was to work with over the succeeding six decades: sketches to collages,
abstract paintings to narrative depictions of the human condition. His work entered
another epoch as he delved into sculpture in stone, metals and resin alongside elaborate
forays into ceramics, a preferred material for his iconic murals across north India. This
eventually led him to architecture, and his buildings have a distinct footprint derived from
his quintessential style. In his working carrier of over 70 years Gujral is perhaps the only
modern Indian artist to have dwelled into several diverse mediums and forged myraid
paths. Today, his art has come full circle with newer works evocatively recalling earlier themes.
