  • THE DRAWING SHOW – PART I a Group Show of Drawings By
    THE DRAWING SHOW – PART I A group show of Drawings by A Naveen Kumar | Aishwaryan K | Bhaskar Vadla | Dimple B Shah | Lokesh B H Mohit Mahato | Rahul Chauhan | Sonal Varshneya | Sumanto Chowdhury Urmila V G | Venugopal V G 9th to 25th January, 2021 Gallery Sumukha, Bangalore www.sumukha.com The Drawing Show – Part I A note about the show The “The Drawing Show” is the first of the two-part series of an exhibition organized by Gallery Sumukha. The exhibition features the work of 11 artists who have established their trajectory in the field of art through their styles and traits. The artists are brought together under the theme of drawing, which forms a common language adopted by each one of them. The show intends to explore various drawing styles used by artists and the elusive thoughts brought to life through them. It also aims to establish how a variety of ideas can be expressed powerfully through the humble language of drawing. In this exhibition, we see artists working on themes like personal narratives, critique on societal norms or their drawings documenting the changing landscapes, and so on. Drawing is seen as a basic form of any art-making process. But, time and again, for artists, drawing has stood as an independent and parallel medium of expression to painting, sculpture, printmaking etc. It is characterized by the quality of the line that becomes a major factor in contributing to the overall feel of the work in the end. The simplicity of line, minimal colours, the graphical quality created by use of black and white, the play of opposites like the curvy organic line against the rigid, angular inorganic line, textures, etc are some of the categories of line and how they are responsible in evoking different moods.

Waswo with Rajesh Soni 2 3 4 Art is not just my profession but the very breath of my life. My life is inseparable from the creative quests which have nurtured me for the last three decades. Creativity is an immensely private activity, yet Art needs company. Art craves for an audience. Art cannot sing in a desert. I felt the need of going beyond my personal artistic adventures and work towards creating a vibrant art scene in Goa. The idea of the ‘Museum of Goa’ (MOG) was born out of this pursuit.

We are immensely grateful to our editors for all their hard work in assembling this issue, particularly in light of the COVID-19 developments which abruptly disrupted our time at Columbia and displaced us across the globe. We are incredibly proud of how our editors and authors were able to work through these unexpected challenges, coming together virtually to support each other and create the best edition yet. This year we published six scholarly works covering a range of topics in the art history field, includ- ing the conservation of ephemeral art, iconoclasm in early Islam, and Shanzhai ‘counterfeit’ culture in contempo- rary China. Chosen from a record high number of submissions, these essays were selected for their depth, rigor, and breadth in exploring artworks from a variety of time periods and regions. Read together, they help paint a picture of the different methodologies and areas of research within the field.
