Bridging innovation and tradition
To promote the art works by graduate students from Peru with a selection of paintings to India, "Artistic exhibition of Peru's contemporary art" is being organized by National Institute of Fine Arts (NIFA). Curated by Renu Khera – artist and MD, NIFA – the exhibition brings together the works of 19 artists who graduated in the year 2015 and 2016 from the Peruvian National Autonomous Superior School of Fine Arts, the finest institution of plastic arts in the country. Over the past 100 years, they have imparted in their classrooms, the concepts and techniques of paintings, sculpture, and engravings to several batches of artists, contributing to the society, an art that is both critical and reflexive, constantly counteracting between innovation and tradition.
