LAY of the LAND - Group Show, Vewing Room, Mumbai.

Lay of the Land-response to the landscape. Monday, August 17, 2009 - Saturday, September 19, 2009 Painting the landscape has always been a very popular genre. Even today the landscape continues to provoke artists whose different responses and approaches to this genre have resulted in multitude yet distinct ways. Moving on from direct representation to site-specific initiatives artists negotiate the landscape incorporating it or referring to it metaphorically. The Viewing Room is proud to present the work of 15 important artists who position their works within the landscape, responding to it in striking ways. - Niyatee Shinde (Curator)
