Rahul Mukherjee is a visual artist. His works range from
painting to installations to sculpture. He did his Bachelors in
Fine Arts with specialization in Painting from College of Art,
Delhi and completed his Masters in planning from Faculty of Fine
Arts at Baroda in 2001. His art works deal with the space, the
imageries of the paintings, the construction of his installations
and the interpretations tell the story about existence of human
presence.
Pijush Kanti Patra is a sculptor and a performance artist. His
works are based on socio - cultural subjects. He has experience
working with many mediums like wood carving, metal casting, stone
carving, fiber casting, rope work, terracotta, cement casting, junk
sculpture, murals, object sculptures and designing functional
objects.
The workshop is about a creative blending of three art
practices; art of found objects, wood craft and contemporary toy
making with fusion of traditional techniques and painting.
The story of Indian tradition of art is timeless as the land
herself. Creative urge and boundless human imagination had led to
crafted art of great variety since prehistoric times. Wood, stone,
clay, cloth, fur and leather have been used to recreate figures and
events from the palpable world and also from the imaginary world of
folklore, legends and myths. These are the repositories of
traditional wisdom and cultural heritage. Abanindranath Tagores
craft created from found object was known as KATUM - KUTUM.
Through the workshop students will have the opportunity to
choose to work on any 1 of the following: 1) Creative toy making 2)
Painted crafts 3) Live puppets. Students will learn to work on wide
range of methods of shaping art. They will also learn the artistic
process: how an artist visualises the idea, aesthetic & purpose
of his creation and finally brings fruition.
The workshopis structured in 3 modules a) introduction about TOY
MAKING of India and brief about KATUM KUTUM , b) Visualisation
& Conceptualising and c) fusion of traditional & modern
Techniques with production of final form.
At various times during the workshop, slide presentation &
interactive session will be held with the students to clarify
various concepts & processes. The points to be discussed
include - Possibilities of the fusion of different materials and
techniques, functional or non-functional, story based or utililty
based, sizes, etc.The range of materials for this workshop will be
wood, cloth, found objects, ready mades, scraps, wire, paint,
etc.
