Pravat says; "My interest in this subject comes from the lived experience of a city that is in a constant state of flux, both tangible and intangible, negotiating between its masterplan, its popular aspirations and the everyday experiences of it. One is in the middle of these transformations, be it from the intimacy of one's home or on larger scales of urban development projects."This exhibition unfolds works that Pravat has been exploring about a city under construction. The gallery looks forward to welcoming you in experiencing this exclusive display of art at Bikaner House, New Delhi.Concrete Dusk-- A Solo Exhibition by M. Pravat- Preview: August 18, 6 - 9 PM- 19 - 24 August, 11 AM - 8 PM- Bikaner House, New DelhiM. Pravat-Artist Statement (excerpt)'Concrete Dusk' brings together my most recent body of works building upon themes I have been exploring for over ten years, namely the different expressions of a city under construction. My interest in this subject comes from the lived experience of a city that is in a constant state of flux, both tangible and intangible, negotiating between its masterplan, its popular aspirations and the everyday experiences of it. One is in the middle of these transformations, be it from the intimacy of one's home or on larger scales of urban development projects. In the past, I tried to capture these changing forms through under-construction sites arrested in time. In recent years, my practice has turned to exploring processes of deconstruction, not only of the urban environment but of habitats, materials and images.Concrete Dusk invokes the built environment in twilight. Instead of focusing on the constructive and destructive forces at work, how can we imagine twilight urbanism where changes in urban surroundings are seen as a waxing and waning of scales, tonalities, textures and shadows? The red bricks for me are reminiscent of past civilisations as much as the subsequent building of empires in red sand-stone and modern urbanscapes in brick and mortar. This show is an attempt to bring these long timelines into conversation with one another.M. Pravat was born in 1972 in Kolkata, India. He completed his Bachelor's degree in painting in 2002 and his Master's in 2004, both granted by the Faculty of Fine Arts at M.S. University, Baroda. His art practice examines architectural forms and materials through a fractured lens. Over the years, his works have been presented in solo and group exhibitions, biennales and art fairs in Colombo, Delhi, Dubai, Mumbai, New York, Seoul and Zurich. His recent solo exhibitions include 'Fugitive Dust' at VHC, Vida Heydari Contemporary, Pune (2021); 'Liquid States' at 1x1 Gallery, Dubai (2017); 'From Today, I Have No Future' at Aicon Gallery, New York (2017); and 'Blue Print' at Nature Morte, Delhi (2011).
