Grosvenor Gallery SADEQUAIN IN PARIS 1961–1967 5 November–14 November 2015 Syed Ahmed Sadequain Naqqash was arguably one of the most important South Asian artists of the 20th century. Sadequain was born in Amroha, today’s India, in 1930 to an educated North Indian Shia family, to which calligraphy was a highly valued skill. Following his education between Amroha and Agra and after a number of years working at various radio stations in Delhi and Karachi as a calligrapher- copyist, he began to dedicate more time to his artistic practices. In 1955 he exhibited a number of paintings at the residence of Prime Minister Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, a liberal patron of the arts. Soon after this, he received a number of important governmental commissions for municipal murals, which led to a number of solo exhibitions in Pakistan. In 1960 Sadequain won the Pakistan National prize for painting, and was invited by the French Committee of the International Association of Plastic Arts to visit Paris. The following few years were to be some of the most important for the young artist in terms of his artistic development, and it was whilst in Paris that he began to achieve international critical acclaim.

In di!erent essays we have read about the unique gaze of the artist who looks at himself, a gaze whose singularity he formulated when he wrote about looking at one of Rembrandt’s self portraits: “either I am Rembrandt and the painting is a mirror, or Rembrandt is looking at himself and I am the mirror”; we have read about bridging the distance between the painter and the model, while providing a more accurate answer to the demands of the observing eye from the painting hand; we have read on about the aspiration for a union of signifier and signified as a metaphor for Narcissus who could not distinguish himself from his reflection. Yet Narcissus is not the only one punished by the burden of reflection at all. In the third book of Metamorphoses Ovid recounts the story of the nymph Echo, whose role was to engage in conversation and distract Hera, queen of Olympus and Zeus’ wife, while the king of the gods seduced the nymphs.

  • Rekha Rodwittiya the Rituals of Memory: Personal Folklores and Other Tales
    Rekha Rodwittiya The Rituals of Memory: Personal Folklores and Other Tales Aicon Gallery Exhibition February 4th – February 27th, 2016 Press Preview & Opening Reception: Thursday, February 4th 6:00pm – 9:00pm 35 Great Jones St., New York NY 10012 Aicon Gallery New York is proud to announce Rekha Rodwittiya – The Rituals of Memory: Personal Folklores and Other Tales, the first major showing of the artist’s work in New York City in two decades. A pioneering feminist artist and voice from the Indian subcontinent, Rodwittiya rose to prominence throughout the 80s and 90s through her strikingly idiosyncratic depictions of female forms, rituals and spaces. Drawn from both the personal experiences and memories of her own feminist journey and the larger historical struggles of women through the centuries, her work was an early rejection of the tropes of a male dominated South Asian art world and its traditionally voyeuristic treatment of the female subject. This exhibition is the second in a series of exhibitions re-examining figuration in Modern and Contemporary South Asian art to be held at Aicon Gallery, New York over the next two years. Rekha Rodwittiya’s iconic, starkly delineated female figures are often viewed as concrete embodiments of the artist’s complex psychological insights into the personal and historical struggles and day-to-day challenges of modern womanhood. The simply rendered yet powerful, sometimes confrontational, figures in Rekha Rodwittiya, Rekha @ 50, 2008, Acrylic and oil on these works seem to simultaneously stand as symbols of an canvas, 84 x 60 in. ongoing struggle in the feminist realm, while refusing to be reduced to objects for visual consumption or easy interpretation.

  • Snarling Into the Abyss: an Analytical Account of the Psychological Meaning of Distortion in Francis Bacon’S (1909- 1992) Portraiture
    S. Quigley & M.A. Elliot / PsyArt 18 (2014) 91–96 Snarling into the Abyss: An analytical account of the psychological meaning of distortion in Francis Bacon’s (1909- 1992) portraiture Stephen Quigley and Mark A. Elliot University of Limerick Abstract In addressing this topic, the article will firstly give an introduction to the life and work of Francis Bacon, this is followed by a discussion of the meaning of distortion in a general sense, and then with specific reference to Bacon’s art. Prior to analyzing Bacon’s motivation to distort it is necessary to outline the effect which distortion has on observers of his art. Both Bacon’s conscious and subconscious motivations to distort are then theorized and discussed. To cite as Quigley, S. & Elliot, M.A., 2014, ‘Snarling into the Abyss: An analytical account of the psychological meaning of distortion in Francis Bacon’s (1909 – 1992) portraiture’, PsyArt 18, pp. 91–96. In addressing this topic, the article will firstly give an introduction to the life and work of Francis Bacon. This is followed by a discussion of the meaning of distortion in a general sense, and then with specific reference to Bacon’s art. Prior to analyzing Bacon’s motivation to distort it is necessary to outline the effect which distortion has on observers of his art. Both Bacon’s conscious and unconscious motivations to distort are then theorized and discussed. It is taken for granted that the reader has at least a cursory knowledge of the life and works of Francis Bacon. It is nevertheless necessary to outline some important life events to give context to our topic.

Guggenheim Museum is honored to present the first American Museum retrospective exhibition by the distinguished British painter Francis Bacon. The Museum, thereby implements its stated policy to exhibit modern art of exceptional quality and significance regardless of national origins or stylistic categories. That we should be joined in this endeavor by one of the great museums in this country. The Art Institute of Chicago, is a source of particular gratification and sets a fruitful precedent for similar collaborative ventures in the future. Harry F. Guggenheim. President, The Solomon R.

As well as adjusting to unprecedented change, we continue to develop and innovate, as a group of four gal- leries linked together within a single organisation. • One exciting area of growth has been Tate Online – tate.org.uk. Now the UK’s most popular art website, it has won two BAFTAs for online content and for innovation over the last two years. In a move that reflects this development, the full Tate Biennial Report is this year published online at tate.org.uk/tatereport. This printed publication presents a summary of a remarkable two years. • A highlight of the last biennium was the launch of the new Tate Boat in May 2003. Shuttling visitors along the Thames between Tate Britain and Tate Modern, it is a reminder of how important connections have been in defining Tate’s success. • Tate is a British institution with an international outlook, and two appointments from Europe – of Vicente Todolí as Director of Tate Modern in April 2003 and of Jan Debbaut as Director of Collection in September 2003 – are enabling us to develop our links abroad, bringing fresh perspectives to our programme.
