Krishen Khanna: Images in My Time (Contemporary Indian Artists)

Sinha, Gayatri

Khanna, Mr Krishen

Lynton, MR Norbert

Iranna GR was born in 1970, and has painted professionally for 10 years. His art is thought to be a stylistic challenge to post-modernism, using instead the representative, idealistic and modernist language of contemporary Indian painting. He has won several awards, held a series of one-man shows and participated in exhibitions in Amsterdam and Chicago.The Dancer on the Horse: Reflections on the Art of Iranna GR is a meditation on the life and work of the artist. Ranjit Hoskote emphasizes the spirituality of the artist's work and the importance of his Guru. Frequently, Iranna depicts a solitary figure in an unreal landscape, and this has been interpreted by the author as a self-portrait of one who feels estranged from his context.'The Dancer on the Horse' refers to a self-portrait by this name. The dancer must maintain both his own logical plan and take into account the movement of the horse which is unpredictable. This balancing act is a metaphor for the artist's obligation to find the appropriate relationship between the inner and outer realities and the private space of the studio and the public space of the gallery. For Ranjit Hoskote, Iranna is immensely successful in achieving this equilibrium.

The Dancer on the Horse: Reflections on the Art of Iranna G.R.

Iranna G.R. (b.1970) has been an artist for about 10 years. He has won many awards and has held several one-man shows in India. Participation in international exhibitions has raised his profile outside his native country. Iranna studied at a time when there was major upheaval in the economy and class system. The frictions that arose from these changes plays an important role in his work. Ranjit Hoskote has written a meditation on Iranna's life and artistic career. He looks at influences on the artist, particularly of a spiritual nature and demonstrates how events in Iranna's life had an impact on his art. The Dancer on the Horse refers to a self-portrait of that name and seems to Hoskote to provide a neat metaphor for the balancing act between the inner privacy and the outer exhibition of a painting.
