𝗨𝗷𝗷𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘆's approach to textile art
is informed by extensive research on textile histories of India, a nuanced examination of pre-industrial age traditional
dyes, socio-ecological considerations, and keen observations of everyday knowledge. Through this distinctive outlook, Dey is set to uncover the
silent symphony of ritualistic women-led presence in the confines of bustling Indian hyper-local kitchens, inviting
viewers to savour the nuances of everyday life transformed into narrative textiles.
The exhibition will feature artworks, ranging from smaller textile panels to substantial hanging pieces which remind
one of the hand-painted, printed and dyed calicoes, alongside referential mould-as-block swatches by the artist. For
context, on display will be some everyday implements and culinary moulds that Dey uses most eloquently as printmaking blocks to
underscore his conceptual framework.
Dey is a contemporary textile-based artist
born in a Bengali family living in Ranchi, Bihar and is currently based in Santiniketan, India.
