  • Nasreen Mohamedi: Untitled, Undated
    Milton Keynes Gallery Nasreen Mohamedi: Untitled, Undated. Pen, pencil and ink on paper (49.5cm x 69 cm) Courtesy Glenbarra Art Museum Collection, Japan Nasreen Mohamedi 5 September – 15 November 2009 Preview: Friday 4 September 18.00-20.00 Milton Keynes Gallery Nasreen Mohamedi 5 September – 15 November 2009 Preview: Friday 4 September 18.00-20.00 Media Partner: ArtAsia Pacific Magazine Exhibition supported by The Charles Wallace Trust India, The Red Hot World Buffet, The Nehru Centre and the Nasreen Mohamedi Circle of Friends, including Modern Art and those who wish to remain anonymous Milton Keynes Gallery is delighted to announce a major solo exhibition of work by important Indian artist Nasreen Mohamedi. Her diary pages, drawings and photographs combine Western influences such as Paul Klee and Kasimir Malevich with Islamic architectural forms and a South Asian sensibility, resulting in an intensely personal body of work. Born in Karachi, India (now Pakistan) in 1937, Mohamedi created a highly developed language from the 1950s to the 1980s. Early drawings often suggest plants and trees, before the artist focused on creating variations around the grid format; later works present free-floating geometric forms that evoke futuristic, mechanical or architectural devices. These abstract forms were often developed in intricately detailed diaries, written throughout the artist’s life, where the written word morphs into personalised symbols, grids and diagonals. The artist traces or weaves regular patterns in her drawings, as if mapping a pulse or internal flow onto external phenomena. Her tightly cropped photographs seek out elemental forms such as the repetitive patterns found in the sea or landscapes as well as in the constructed world, in architecture and urban design.

This is an ideological choice that inscribes her in a distinct stream of art discourse and practice played out worldwide. Navjot’s trajectory links with precedents in Indian art in that several generations of artists have privileged locality, community, and an art-language based on material processes.

  • Contemporary Art of India from the Chester and Davida Herwitz Collection June 22 - September 17, 2000
    Haggerty Museum of Art u Marquette University Timeless Visions Contemporary Art of India from the Chester and Davida Herwitz Collection June 22 - September 17, 2000 The exhibition Timeless Visions cele- brates the modern and contemporary work of thirteen artists from India. As a group, these artists have probed such profound themes as the nature of cre- ation and representations of the divine, the essence of being human, the charac- ter of the heroic, and such formal con- cerns as color, form and space. As a country India, which gained inde- pendence from British rule in 1947, Jamini Roy, Untitled, undated ranks second after China in terms of Tempera on newspaper, 103/4 x 163/4 in. In Hinduism, cattle are sacred and revered. population and is home to the world’s largest film industry. While collections of the traditional arts of India such as Hindu and Buddhist temple sculpture and Indian miniatures are well established in museums throughout the world, the importance of the art of post-colonial India has only recently begun to be recognized. Contemporary Indian art represents a radical break from the past because Indian artists are no longer subordi- nate to patrons or trained solely as apprentices in established styles. Color, form, texture and line once deployed only for narrative purposes sometimes take precedence—or become—the content. Four of the artists represented in this exhibition (Dave, Goud, Reddy and Rodwittiya) were trained at the newly established fine arts department at Maharaja Sayajirao University in Baroda. This program is not limited to traditional European or Indian approaches to art, but was designed to be international in its scope and training.
