The “The Drawing Show” is the first of the two-part series of an exhibition organized by Gallery Sumukha. The exhibition features the work of eleven artists who have established their trajectory in the field of art through their styles and traits. The artists are brought together under the theme of drawing, which forms a common language adopted by each one of them. The show intends to explore various drawing styles used by artists and the elusive thoughts brought to life through them. It also aims to establish how a variety of ideas can be expressed powerfully through the humble language of drawing. In this exhibition, we see artists working on themes like personal narratives, critique on societal norms or their drawings documenting the changing landscapes, and so on.
Drawing is seen as a basic form of any art-making process. But, time and again, for artists, drawing has stood as an independent and parallel medium of expression to painting, sculpture, printmaking etc. It is characterized by the quality of the line that becomes a major factor in contributing to the overall feel of the work in the end. The simplicity of line, minimal colours, the graphical quality created by use of black and white, the play of opposites like the curvy organic line against the rigid, angular inorganic line, textures, etc are some of the categories of line and how they are responsible in evoking different moods.
