Goa Contemporaries
On Tue 04 November, at 6.15 pm, the Nehru Centre London will host Goa
Contemporaries, an exhibition of works on paper by seven Goa-based artists.
The exhibition is curated by Margaret Mascarenhas, novelist, collector and
promoter of art produced in Goa, presented by Kiki's London, co-sponsored by
the Vasantrao Dempo Education and Research Trust and Sunaparanta Goa Centre
for the Arts, a Dattaraj V Salgaocar initiative.
The exhibition showcases the work of the following artists :
Julio De Souza, an explosive talent, who explores self-representation and
reinvents Picasso's Minotaur; Swatee Kotwal, an experienced
retro-abstractionist, whose work is preoccupied with ecological fragility;
Apurva Kulkarni, conceptual artist, whose notion of the "found object" is
inspired from the virtual world and blends traditional story telling
methods of traditional Jain miniature artists with comic book art;
Vamona Navalcar, Goa's senior-most artist, the first Goan to study at the
Escola Superior de Belas Artes of Portugal, and a master of line;
Deviprasad C Rao, rising abstractionist star, whose process-based
abstractions combine quirky, child-like imagery and surrealistic poetry;
Suhas Shilker, whose abstract painterly vocabulary of scrawls, linear marks,
signs and symbols resist literal interpretation;
Norman Tagore, whose predominantly figurative work is influenced by
photography and inspired by the faces of the world he inhabits, articulating
feelings of loneliness, despair, suffering or failure of human
communication.
The Rt. Hon. Keith Vaz MP will inaugurate the event.
