Art gives us the opportunity to examine what it means to be human, to voice and express, and to bring people and ideas together. And even as we rise to the challenge of navigating the new normal in a global pandemic, we are reminded that this is the best time to value the arts. Whether big or small, sidewalk chalk art or community murals, art makes a difference in how we live our lives. In keeping with this ethos, the fifth edition of Delhi Contemporary Art Week 2022 will present an impactful curation of artworks by the seven participating galleries - all coincidentally helmed by women. This curated forum will draw on the synergies between seven like-minded galleries in the Capital, who have been promoting contemporary art consistently and are committed to the vision of coming together to educate, showcase and promote it. Here's what you can look forward to:
BLUEPRINT 12
Spotlight on: Kamurai and Mansha Chhatwal
Kaimurai is the identity through which Abishek Ganesh J (b. 1984) expresses his art and research practice. His work is a dialogue between organic forms and flow of energy experienced in the Western Ghats, Ancient South Indian art, rituals, architecture, and Carnatic music. He captures raw energy and inherent vibration that is omnipresent but buried by daily chaos. "There are three elements that trigger my work. A combination of material (natural indigo), organic forms (real or fantasized), and Carnatic music. My mind wanders in the fantastical jungles of ancient past with life in abundance, strange formations and is informed by the mysticism of Carnatic music. It is a meditative process, an interaction between the Physical and metaphysical. My hands take control over my mind, creating repeated markings, a method that renders the artwork," he says.
