India, Dec. 14 -- The recently concluded wedding season lends new perspective as one views renowned artist Krishen Khanna's iconic Bandwallah series. This is exhibited as part of ongoing exhibition Three Moderns, featuring works of modern Indian artists Krishen Khanna, Himmat Shah, and Thota Vaikuntam. The 12 showcased sculptures celebrate materials as well as metaphors. A part of this is the Bandwallah series by Khanna. "There are four monumental sculptures that celebrate the beauty of wind instruments as well as the sensory experience of the power of music that draws from the past and explores both memory and identity and empathy for an occupation by the Progressive Arts Group Master," says Uma Nair, curator of the show. Having followed the journeys of these masters for almost three decades, the curator chose Himmat's quartet of sculptures that reflect his intensity of purpose. "His works in stone celebrate the relationship between man, architecture, landscape, and material memory. His heads reimagine the threads of nomadic journeys over a span of time," she adds. The bronze works on display are by Thota from his series The Sacred Gaze. Patinated in the colour tones of Dravidian inhabitants, the works reflect the rituals and devotion of communities of Telangana. In the ethos of these three masters, the showcase examines how structure and vulnerability coexist in the interplay of material, movement, and memory. HTC...
