Visit to New Walk Museum & Art Gallery

I show this particular digital print work at new walk museum & gallery produced by Chila Kumari Burman. She was born in 1957 and grew up in Liverpool as part of a Hindu-Punjabi family. She works with a wide range of media including print, photography, installation and etching and has participated in exhibitions and debates around issues of cultural identity, representation and gender.   

Visit to New Walk Museum & Art Gallery

While I was at the New Walk Museum &Art Gallery I came across the exhibition (don’t look back! I told you so) by British Taiwanese artist Chien-Wei Chang .Chien Wei Chang is an artist whose work is a meditation on crossing borders. He is a silversmith who works also with wood and other materials and who has travelled east to west from Taiwan to UK. His artworks convey aspects of his journey found this particular exhibition helpful because I am exploring into similar aspect of my journey from east (India) to west (UK.)  My idea of bringing to contrasting cultures together by using some elements of two diverse cultures collided with this exhibition.

Visit to Millennium Gallery (Museum Sheffield)

My visit to Sheffield for my interview coincided with a highly recommended exhibition called “The family in British art”, covered a wide variety of media and time periods. Luckily I managed to fit in a visit. It was subdivided into 5 sections: Inheritance, Childhood, Couple and Kinship, Parenting and Home. This exhibition brings together both historic and contemporary art to illustrate the changing portrayal of family in Britain over the centuries.

Robert Perry is one of the most original landscape painters of his generation, his work deeply rooted in the tradition of observation and direct response to Nature.I really liked his work.
