An International Art Workshop of Paintings (B&W) would be held at Green House Open Air Theatre of International Roerich Memorial Trust (IRMT), Naggar (Kullu) between 4th and 6th July, 2019. The participating artists in the workshop are Simone Noseda (Italy), Prabhinder Lall and Neeti Joshi (Chandigarh), Mintu Dekka, Meenakshi Bargohain and Bandana Nath (Assam), Shyam Sharma (Uttar Pradesh), Raghu Newere (Maharashtra), Shivani Singla (Punjab) and Jang S. Verman, Shivali Jamwal and Mehak Sharma (Jammu & Kashmir).
The forthcoming exhibition is the 3rd B&W show in its series. The purpose of organizing such shows and workshop dedicated to black & white art works is to revive the mediums used by our ancestors in long tested visual expressions to express and share their views and emotions. The Drawing & Print art works by different artists to be put on display in the exhibition have been executed in various art techniques and mediums like Pen- n- Ink, water colour, pencil, charcoal and crayon drawings, NoPaint Images (an innovative technique) etc. Further Black & White works are not involved in details which create diversions in the imagination of the viewers. The third view in this regard is that while viewing Black & White visuals the viewer merges his ‘imaginative fill ups’ to complete the visuals according to his wish.
All the organizers, making both the ventures have already organized many national and international level art events at many places in the country in the past also.
