Two new exhibitions are connecting threads of artistic practices
Live MintDelhi is currently hosting two unique solo shows, by Treibor Mawlong and Awdhesh Tamrakar, at Vadehra Art Gallery and Shrine Empire, respectively. Viewing wood-cuts such as The Return and The Rehearsal as part of Mawlong’s Once Around The Sun within Vadehra Art Gallery’s contemporary space makes you feel a graphic novel has come to life. Similarly, in works like Pital Khana in Tamrakar’s show, Dūr-darāz, one can almost hear the thaṭherā craftspersons—brass and copper metalsmiths—from Shahgarh in Madhya Pradesh strike at the metal repeatedly. Photo: The artist/ Shrine Empire As Tamrakar traces his roots to Pancham Nagar, Madhya Pradesh, he wonders if his community’s identity is inextricably linked with its place of origin. As we vaguely make out hands working the metal in some of these works, we wonder if they would one day become as abandoned as Pancham Nagar’s ruins,” writes D’Souza.
