Workshop facilitated by Rahul Juneja

Part of Purvaee

Date: 4 Jan 25

Time: 2.00pm - 4.00pm 

Venue: KNMA Noida

This workshop will delve deeper into the pedagogic legacy of Benodebehari Mukherjee, taking inspiration from his landscape works displayed within the exhibition. Participants will trace how Mukherjee's initial style had influences from chinese and japanese style of scroll painting, and think of the historical and contemporary importance of drawing and outdoor exploration. The workshop will culminate in an outdoor drawing/painting session, where the participants will try to make their own landscapes inspired by Mukherjee’s stylistic tendencies, and reflect on the differences of time, context and aesthetics.

All materials will be provided by the Museum.
