Workshop Content:
Dhiraj Pednekar is an independent artist who lives and works in Goa. He pursued his BFA from Goa
College of Art (2012) and MFA from S.N School of Arts & Communication, University of Hyderabad (2014). His recent works indulge in environmental and social consciousness. The works often play the role of silent protest to shed light on the issues and impart the contemporary relationship between Human and Nature. To understand it deeper he tries to study the landscape in terms of its ecology, geopolitics and society-environment. Hence to decipher these complex ideas he incorporates drawing, sculpture, photography, video and performance in his practice. He is experimenting with earthly materials and found objects, and often accumulates them to draw and sculpt. His interest in viewing material as a metaphor is to reinterpret its conceptual relationship with the visuals he creates, allowing viewers to have an open contemplation.
