Drawing Room: Yasha Shrivastava on Bhupen Khakhar’s polarising art (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Few Indian artists have been as polarising as Bhupen Khakhar. When the self-taught painter and writer from Mumbai who died in 2003, had a massive retrospective of his work at the Tate Museum in London in 2016, it set off a bomb in the art world. The Guardian published an unfavourable review of the show, dismissing Khakhar’s work as “old-fashioned” and “second-rate”, his figures “too sloppily drawn to be engaging”. It prompted Indian artists and critics to rustle up an affronted defence. Khakhar,
Drawing Room: Ayuesh Agarwal on Varad Bang’s intimate portraits (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We live in an age where we constantly present ourselves through images, from carefully framed and filtered selfies to perfectly curated Instagram feeds. But where selfies are performative, painting is an act of attention, and of looking closely at the world. When you paint someone’s face, you spend hours looking at them. You notice things that a photograph might flatten – the way the light changes across the face, the slight tension around the eyes, the rhythm of someone’s breathing, the way the
Drawing Room: Jyotee Kolte on Prakash Waghmare’s vibrant abstract art (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When people say, with a twinge of frustration, that they “don’t get modern art”, they’re probably referring to abstract work. Jackson Pollock’s splotches, Piet Mondrian’s geometrics, SH Raza’s Bindu, Nasreen Mohamedi’s grid patterns. There’s no story playing out (or is there?). Is there a focus, or is it just some tricky Rorschach test you didn’t prepare for? The art world refers to abstraction as the quality of existing as, or representing, an idea or feeling. It’s not meant to be realistic. An
Drawing Room: Vandana Kothari on K G Subramanyan’s striking murals (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Anyone who visits the Design Department of the Kala Bhavana art school at Visva-Bharati University in Santiniketan will be familiar with the striking black-and-white mural that adorns it. A tapestry of interwoven figures, animals, birds and organic forms, it has no beginning or end. Human figures merge into animals, decorative motifs transform into living forms, and empty spaces become meaningful. There is no prescribed path, storyline or subversive messaging to follow. Instead, the eye wanders
Drawing Room: Manjot Kaur’s paintings birth rebellion and entwined truths (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If I had to describe Manjot Kaur’s work in a word, I would call it ferocious. Very few works of art, even brave ones, are truly ferocious. While most of us fear the entanglement of the human and the non-human, Kaur builds her paintings around it. Somehow, it makes her work even more human – because it can encourage us to question and think deeper about that we know. That’s the very mark of being human. The first painting of hers I ever saw, depicted a woman reclining on an embroidered bed in the
