Join SCAD Museum of Art exhibiting artists Thukral and Tagra for two artist talks exploring each of their newly opened exhibitions. The artists will speak on the use of dynamic imagery in their respective practices, which encompass painting, installation, and digital drawing. Zagnoli will discuss her approach to fusing art and design, illuminating the cultural and historical touch points that inform her site-specific works on view in the museum’s Jewel Boxes. Then, join Thukral and Tagra as they expound on the digital and natural influences that manifest in the hyperrealistic paintings in their series Arboretum.About the artists,
Jiten Thukral (b. 1976, Jalandhar, Punjab, India) and Sumir Tagra (b. 1979, New Delhi, India) work collaboratively across a wide range of mediums including painting, sculpture, installation, interactive game design, video, and performance. Expanding the scope of what art can do, their multimodal sensory and immersive environments originate new formats of public engagement liberated from the mediated, disciplinary world. Their recent work engages with the interpretation of Indian mythological narratives and symbols and the ongoing social ramifications of the agrarian crisis throughout India. Thukral and Tagra have exhibited internationally at institutions including the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, London; Asian Art Museum, San Francisco; Kunstverein Ludwigsburg, Stuttgart, Germany; Pearl Lam Galleries, Singapore; Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada; Manchester Museum, U.K.; and Hilger Contemporary, Vienna, among many others.
This event is free and open to the public.
