The show is a Times of India initiative, curated by Dr Tarana Khubchand, Director of Gallery Art & Soul, and mentored by artist Brinda Miller. "The Art of India 2023" exhibition is scheduled to take place in Delhi from April 7th to April 13th at Bikaner House. It will showcase a range of artworks, including paintings, sculptures, and installations, all created by talented Indian artists.
April will also see the second edition of Pulp Paper Print, an art event that explores the materials and tools used in an artist's studio. The event is focused on the use of pigments, drawing inspiration from the work of Benode Behari Mukherjee, an artist known for his watercolours, ink washes, and temperas. The event will take a closer look at the process of making and gathering pigments, which was integral to Mukherjee's Santiniketan frescos. The pigments used in these frescos were often extracted from stones, trees, and other organic materials found in the landscape. Pulp Paper Print aims to reveal new ways of interpreting and making art by examining the materials and tools used by artists.
The event takes place on Sunday, April 2, from 11am-4pm at Naya Village, Pingla, Paschim Medinipur near Kolkata. Renowned artist Bapi Chitrakar will be showcasing his skills, following in the footsteps of his family's generations-long tradition of painting, specifically, the Bengal Pattachitra.
