正如艺术家所说,卡尼什卡·拉贾(Kanishka Raja)的迷人图案作品“探索了表现、工艺、技术的交叉点,以及信息传递中出现的差距。” 拉贾的 I and I 系列在概念上令人陶醉,在美学上也很诱人,将绘画与编织、扫描、印刷、刺绣和复制品相结合。拉贾将一种混合遗产——印度城市童年的后殖民融合、纺织制造和服装设计的家庭根源、美国的文科和工作室教育、纽约和加尔各答的两国立足点——转变为一种非凡的实践,其中的策略变化、重复、逆转和镜像汇聚在“利用对立的复合领域——技术与手工、原创与复制、中立与争议”。
The ravishing work of experimental painter Kanishka Raja.
Kanishka Raja’s ravishingly patterned work, as the artist put it, “explores the intersection of representation, craft, technology, and the gaps that occur in the transmission of information.” Conceptually heady and aesthetically alluring, Raja’s I and I series combines painting with woven, scanned, printed, embroidered, and reproduced counterparts. Raja transforms a hybrid inheritance—the postcolonial confluences of an urban Indian childhood, family roots in textile manufacturing and clothing design, liberal arts and studio education in the United States, binational footing in New York and Kolkata—into an extraordinary practice, wherein strategies of variation, repetition, reversal, and mirroring converge in “composite fields that tap into oppositions—the technological versus the handmade, original versus reproduction, and neutral versus contested.”
