The annual exhibition by the Sahitya Kala Parishad, which is the cultural wing of the Government of the NCT of Delhi, features established and emerging artists from the capital. For this year’s exhibition more than 300 applications for participation were received. A judging committee has handpicked 60 artists to present their works in the mediums of painting, photography, sculpture, drawing, and graphics. Of the selected artworks, those by Nitin Gera have been awarded as the best photography exhibit.
The winning picture – ‘Linear Improvisation – Time Machine’
The winning picture titled ‘Time Machine’ is part of the artist’s series on ‘Linear Improvisation.’ In these artworks he uncovers the rhythms intrinsic to his subjects. Here lines are worked upon to emphasize the symmetry of the subject and to induce dynamism. A precise distortion captured through a fisheye lens simulates an inclusive inspection of an inscrutably white cosmos.
The exhibition is on view from 20th to 28th Dec, 2014 at the Exhibition Hall, Indira Gandhi Center for the Arts, New Delhi
