Art enthusiasts in the city can head over to the newly launched art Gallery at the British Council as its show titled Winter by British artist Julian Opie is open for public view.
The show that commenced on Thursday centers around a sequence of <g data-gr-id="17">seventy five</g> prints that represent a circular walk taken by the artist through the French countryside on a harsh but beautiful day.
The prints absorb an eclectic range of influences from <g data-gr-id="20">17th century</g> Dutch landscape painting to street view on Google Maps, and are at the forefront of Opie’s continued investigation into the experience of landscape.
The collection is an inspiration from a stroll through bleak winter landscape in France. Opie commented, “It was very exciting when the British Council decided to buy the Winter series. They have always been very supportive and I’m particularly happy to keep such a large part of this series intact as a group and gave a chance to exhibit them together in the new gallery in Delhi. I am so happy that Winter will be travelling to various parts of the country over the coming months.”
Rob Lynes, Director of British Council India said, “The exhibition displays a form of art which is fresh and captivating to the eye and also a step forward in building cultural connections between UK and India through artistic exchange.”
