Event Description : Great Banyan Art presents "Tales of Art" a group show of Narrative Art from across boundaries
The exhibition will showcase around 40 artworks from 15 countries across the world. To illustrate the diversity of narrative art, the exhibition draws upon an eclectic mix of emerging contemporary artists who hail from USA, Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands, Turkey, Poland, Norway, Ukraine, Lithuania, Korea, China, Malaysia, HongKong and Philippines.
As a whole, Tales of Art suggests that the ancient art of telling stories in images remains a vital tradition today – and it does not matter which generation we belong to – aspire to the narrative. We love stories; we rejoice in anecdotes; we are raconteurs; and we like our art to step out from parables and myths to stories about our times – but, oh, we must have our stories!
In the exhibition, South Korea’s Sung Ha Ahn obsesses about found objects, including stubbed cigarettes in ashtrays blown up larger than life, while Jeong focuses on hyper-reality. Malaysia’s Ahmad Zakii Anwar, similarly, concentrates on photo-realism within urban settings. Lithuania’s Gabriele Sermuksnyte appraises contemporary popular culture with a sense of disbelief as those bored with material pleasures use luxury as a prop while paying lip-service to feminine stereotypes. From the UK, Alex Rennie offers a new perspective of familiarly glimpsed scenes.
China’s Kan Sun, Xiaodong Cui, WeixinGuo and Hongru Yao all have a softness built around the loneliness of the human condition, even amidst a group of friends, or sorority, or in relationships. The palettes are soft and the melancholy seeps through, but there is also dignity and poise. Among them, Xiaodong Cui alone brings the texture and warmth of landscape art to his figurative aesthetic. J Geraldine of the Philippines who works across different mediums references sacredness and ritual iconography without pointing to any one religion, a faith that has stood the test and challenge of time, as it were. Poland’s AgataZychlinska has a sense of the ‘modern’ and is satirical as an artist in response to works that recount artists from a century ago, though her sensibility belongs to the here and now. And in this exhibition photography is handed to us by Spain’s self-taught Viet Ha Tran who draws on the emotions of her female subjects.
About Great Banyan Art: Great Banyan Art is an online gallery of eclectic paintings that brings together various artists, genres and periods. The collection represents works of art from leading modernists such as M.F Husain, F.N Souza, S.H Raza, Tyeb Mehta, V.S. Gaitonde to contemporary artworks by Anju Dodiya, Atul Dodiya, Chittrovanu Mazumdar, Baiju Parthan, Sudhir Patwardhan and TV Santosh amongst others. The collection enjoys very high provenance and has been built largely through acquisitions from leading international and domestic Art houses and some from foremost art galleries of India.
