Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH), with the Indian Embassy in the United Arab Emirates, is presenting "Spectrum", the first official collaborative exhibition of modern and contemporary Indian art in Abu Dhabi. The works will be on display from 12th to 28th November 2009.
Spectrum, which has been jointly curated by Dr. Saryu Doshi and Ms. Pheroza Godrej, features a significant collection of Indian art from 1947 to the present time. The exhibition showcases the artworks of eighty-five artists and includes paintings, sculpture, installations, photographs, new media and video. These artworks represent artists who have charted new trajectories, experimented with conventional idioms while evolving a new vocabulary or carved a niche for themselves on the International art scene by expressing themselves in a global language.
The art works represent Indian artist’s concerns and preoccupations. Their works project social, political and cultural issues. Also, they show that many artists have drawn on traditional Indian idioms for motifs and devices to enhance their own pictorial language.
The diverse and innovative imagery of several young artists crosses boundaries with its universal appeal.
Spectrum will not only serve as an introduction to prevalent trends in Indian art but also promote deeper understanding of a different aesthetic.
