Analytical Work by Anupam Sud
Analytical study of the artwork by Anupam Sud.
The art of printmaking, as we know it today, is an artistic method appreciated for its unique technical qualities and its immense vocabulary as a specialized field of fine art. Printmaking is the process with which a wide range of materials and diversity of techniques are associated, which offers the artist varied possibilities for experimentation. Anupam Sud was born in 1944 at Hoshiarpur in Punjab. She passed her Diploma in Fine Art from the College of Art, Delhi and an advanced course in printmaking from the Slade School of Art in London on a British Council scholarship. She headed the printmaking department at the Delhi College of Art for several years. She has been a teacher and a mentor to many young artists of today. She is also known for her fine drawings and paintings. Her work breathes a unique freshness- with traces of sculptural contours in some and hints of warmth of oils in others. Though her work features both men and women and often in the nude, her sympathies are feminist and the oeuvre introspective and somewhat brooding or haunting, concerning itself with common human predicaments of ambiguity and hypocrisy. As an educationist and founding member of the printmakers guild and subsequently the mini prints exhibition that she had curated which toured several Indian cities, she has been able to win for graphics a place within the folds of recognized art forms. Anupam works at her home-studio in village Mandi, isolated by verdure and green fields, several miles away from the churning of Delhi’s streets.
When we compare the work of Anupam sud with the great printmaker of the past, like Albert Durer, Daumier, Kathe kollowitz who used print-making for its monochromatic power of statement, Anupam, on the contrary, uses its language of metaphor. Sud 's art consolidates her humanistic leanings over her feminist ones, reflecting upon the nature of humanity in all its forms. She works, one might say, with a

    Warhol: the Flatness of Fame

    • 2586 Words
    • 11 Pages

    THANK YOU all for being here this brisk March afternoon. I’d like to thank the GRAM for the invitation to speak in conjunction with such a wonderful exhibition, and especially Jean Boot for all of her diligent coordination on my behalf. (There are 3 parts to my presentation. First, a virtual tutorial on the process of screen-printing; secondly, a discussion of the formal and conceptual potential inherent to printmaking, and the way in which Warhol expertly exploited that potential. Finally, I will conclude with an actual demonstration of screen-printing in the Museum’s basement studio.) In coming weeks, you’ll have an opportunity to hear much more about the cultural-historical context for Andy Warhol’s work from two exceptional area scholars, beginning next Friday evening with a lecture by my colleague at GV, Dr. Kirsten Strom, and on _______ Susan Eberle of Kendall College of Art & Design. As Jean indicated in her introduction, I teach drawing and printmaking at GVSU. In other words, I’m approaching Warhol’s work very much as a studio artist. As a printmaker in particular, I’m predisposed to note the large degree (great extent?) to which the innate characteristics of the medium – in this case screen-printing - enable and inform the meaning of Warhol’s work. At the outset of each printmaking course I teach at Grand Valley, I provide students a brief overview of the social history of the print; I divulge its rich heritage in the service of dispensing and preserving our (collected cultural discourse, from…) verbal and pictorial languages, knowledge and history, cultural discourse, from ancient scripture to textile design to political critique. In addition I cite the formal qualities specific to the print – multiplicity, mutability, and its recombinant capabilities. I open with this background as a means of framing the work students will produce in the course. I’d like to provide a similar overview here, as a means of framing the work of Warhol, which is so richly…

    The influence of cultural experiences from different worlds has altered artists’ perceptions on their concept of depicting art, which is displayed in their series of artworks. Artists including Wenda Gu, Shayne Higson and William Kentridge demonstrate various aspects of the cultural world they live in such as their background, shown through their artist’s practice. Wenda Gu questions the distinction between cultural languages, race and gender in his artworks United Nation, 2001 and Forest of stone steles, 1993-2003. Similarly, William Kentridge offers his experiences through the distinction and separation of people by their skin colours shown in his artworks Procession of the dispossessed, 1989 and Procession in the landscape with highmast, 1989. While Shayne Higson demonstrates her cultural world through her real life experience of the political issue that is occurring in Australia which is emerging in her artworks Unsuitable, 2000 and Give me Warmth, 2004. These artists’ cultural experience significantly informs their practice through their artworks.…

    Kattikeya Vs Bodhisattva

    • 802 Words

    Two cultures, Hindu and Buddhist, which have many differences and produce so many different forms of art, are a little difficult to compare. Let alone comparing the cultures, but to compare two artworks can be a little bit of a challenge. These two cultures’ artworks are highly centered on their religious beliefs and their traditions.4 The artwork I have chosen from Hinduism is titled: Kattikeya, God of War, Seated on a peacock. To compare to the statue of the God of War I have chosen a similar in size figurine produced by the Buddhist culture titled: Avalokiteshvara, Bodhisattva of Compassion. Both artworks, being of two different cultures, two different mediums, and two different types of dietes: one being a god of war and the other a bodisattva of compassion will be examined in this paper and the religious meaning, symbolic meanings, technique, and cultural value…

    “Mai Bhago and the Forty Liberated Ones” is a canvas painting that was made in 2009 by Canadian artist Kanwar Singh. His curiosity in sikh history has caused him to compose many other paintings in that same area of interest. My partner Sonia and I chose this image because it showed not only man but a woman who can hold power. Most images that we researched consisted of male warriors, and this one in particular had a woman leading a team of men. The point of this image is not only to admire the artist's work but also it brings a viewer to think about the past historical events for Sikhs. Kanwar Singh might have used a story he had read or heard of before and used his skills to illustrate it. This painting can be used as a replacement for the story and uses art to recreate it. When we first…

The multiple layers of reality, revealing the complex integration of body, mind, and spirit has become his trademark in the 90’s. His paintings have been featured on various covers of albums and have been exhibited throughout the world. (Hagerty, 2006) The artist’s hand, 1997, holds a powerful instrument, here symbolized by a “Vajra brush,” is a means to awaken people to their own essence through the light of higher power. The history of art is an expression of universal creativity that invisibly surrounds and supports every creative action. The Vajra is a spiritual device, a thunderbolt scepter owned by the Hindu god Indra and adopted by the Buddhist sages as a symbol of the diamond-like clarity and brilliance of the mind’s true nature.
