Event Description : EXHIBITION “Whispering Wood” A group sculpture show

Soon capital will witness a spell bounding series of work on wood. A group of contemporary senior Delhi sculptors have come together and each artist has something unique to present through this show. With simple hand tools and saw, a sculptor with an artistic vision can transform a block of wood to an idea, an expression and that is what can be viewed here.Their experience and skills add on a lot of personal meaning to their work.

It is an exhibition of wood sculptures where the sculptors have brought life into the uprooted lifeless log that was once a living organism through which the sculptors intend to narrate the cycle of birth and death and re-generation. Wood is a very demanding material to carve. Trees that have suffered weather damage, and salvaged stumps carved and reshaped, unconsciously create another language, a story of energy and matter with radiating beauty and grace. The texture can be smooth and subtle, rough and gnarly depending on the property of the wood as wood is fibrous and is to be worked in the direction of the tree growth.

This is the first time that an exhibition of wood sculptures is being put together. Wood carving is laborious and takes years of practice to go along with the wood grains. One can say it's a battle between control and freedom and this exhibition is therefore to follow the little exciting adventure that the artist has explored through the carvings and installations.
