The month of February is seeing an outburst of unique cultural and artistic exhibits all around the country. These experiences are delving into art heritage while also combining new age artists and their zeal for tech innovation. What sets these events apart is their all-immersive structure that does not limit the viewer to a single narrative, rather takes them on a tour of contemporary art involving multiple artists.
If you are interested in understanding the burgeoning art culture of India, here are a few events that should be on your list in the month of February.
I. Kunel Gaur
Artist Kunel Gaur is a creative director/designer whose personal visual style is inspired by functional design and brutalist architecture. In addition to being inspired by the design movement that emerged in the 1950s which has come to evolve as a response to the overwhelming use of embellishment on visual communication both online and offline.
With his second solo exhibition with Method, Kunel furthers his exploration of design in urban landscapes and architecture. Inspired by the details in cities around the world, Kunel’s fascination with the symbols, typography, hardware, patterns and colours converges in an articulation that speculates the balanced beauty and form of the elements that primarily serve a function for urban dwellers. The show also features digital explorations of the same theme.
When: 9th-19th Feb 2023
