‘INK’ at Gallery Espace!

New Delhi – 18th October

A new group art exhibition titled ‘INK’ opened to art lovers in ‘Gallery Esapce’ at New Delhi on Friday, 13th October 2023. ‘INK’ brings together a selection of works by artists known for their affinity for and sustained exploration of the medium. The show presents the ink works of the following artists: Amitava Das, Dilip Ranade, Gautam Bhatia, Jeram Patel, M F Husain, Madhvi Parekh, Manu Parekh, Mekhala Bahl, Partha Pratim Deb and Sonia Khurana.

The curator of the show Gargi Gupta puts forth that the artworks in ink have a stark drama, the play of black and white creating a spare aesthetic shorn of superfluity. In her curatorial note she brings out the nuances of the medium of ink and the persona of artists, some which are shared here.

In Jeram Patel’s works, amorphous shapes emerge like dark clouds from paper white, constructed with fluid strokes of the brush, ranging from opaque black to translucent grey.

In Husain’s two ink drawings, the unbroken, expressive line moves freely to create recognizable forms in outline, with sudden intrusions of dense black forming shaded volume.

M F Husain – ‘Untitled’
Dilip Ranade – ‘Survival’
Manu Parekh – ‘Image – 1’
Sonia Khurana – ‘Floating Bodies, Preparatory drawing’

Many of the works in this exhibition have been drawn from, or are extensions of the artists’ sketchbook practice. They share, thus, a discernible kinship with the artists’ larger, ambitious works on canvas in oils / acrylics.

The exhibition is open till Friday, 17th November, on Mon – Sat during 10 AM – 7 PM.

Venue: ‘Gallery Espace’ 16, Community Center, Near Surya Hotel, Sujan Mahindra Road, New Friends Colony, New Delhi, Delhi 110025
