• Sculpsit: Between Thought and Action 5 Oct to 22 Dec 2019 at Sunaparanta, Goa

    Sunaparanta - Goa Centre for the Arts in collaboration with The Guild Art Gallery, Mumbai opened ‘Sculpsit: Between Thought and Action’ - an exhibition of drawings and sculptures by works by 15 Indian master artists - Anupam Sud | Akbar Padamsee | Navjot Altaf | Baiju Parthan I | Gieve Patel
     Gigi Scaria | Himmat Shah | Jyoti Bhatt
    | K. G. Subramanyan | A. Ramachandran  N. N. Rimzon I | Rajkumar Korram | Shantibai | Sudhir Patwardhan | T.V. Santhosh 

    Curated by Sasha Altaf, the show produced by patrons Dattaraj and Dipti Sagaocar will remain open until December 2019.

    The show highlights the relationship between drawing and sculpture and the process that takes place in conceiving and realising a work of art. All the works show the trajectory between the first phase (the creation of the idea and thought) and its final form (as it comes to life). At the same time, the exhibition looks at the dialogue and complexities in the relation that emerges between artist and craftsman.
