Organized at India Habitat Center, “Voyages: The ancient Maritime Silk Ruty” takes inspiration from historical marine trade and cultural exchange between the coastal regions of Odisha and Kerala in South India and the countries of Southeast Asia.
Cuisted by Jaya Mani, exhibition actors serve as a ‘journey of journey’ for artists Gunn Jain and Suresh Muthukulam, combining tradition and imagination through a rich visual story.
“It was an exciting experience to collaborate on the subject of trips, as it celebrated the rich maritime trade history between Odisha and Southeast Asian countries. Kerala, also, shares a magnificent past in instead of gold, as a luxurious past with Southeast Asia.
Delhi -based textile artist and designer Jain said, “Beyond this shared trade legacy, both Kerala and Odisha are coastal states, which are elements of similar landscapes, flora and fauna that deprive both our artistic practices and make a natural coordination in our work.”
The creative journey of Jain and Muthukulam began in Kerala in 2022, where an attractive dialogue came out between mural art and textile weaving for the first time, in which the theme of maritime visits was emerging as the correct “anchor” for their collaborative investigation.
20 artifacts, both voluntary migrations, as ancient trade trips detect the subjects, and are forced, as seen today that floods and reunion mythological figures due to natural disasters are in the form of fictional beings, famine history, mythology and imagination in the places under water from Indian art.
“As of artists, we have resumed trips to ancient ceffie and traders that can feel to spend months in the sea. These experiences have been translated into a contemporary context through our artifacts.
“For example, one of the pieces of my art, which I call the ‘hallucinations sea’, is made using a yarn. It convenience an abstract, solitary boat and rebelled the shimmering surface of the sea such as dancing on water in sunlight, reflecting a motent texture, which was almost a Banarasi Kimkhab, which was almost untouched, which was unlike Went.
Muthukulam, who strictly trained in the Kerala mural tradition before expanding into contemporary forms on canvas, rice paper and wood, shared insight into his practice.
He explained that this style follows the ‘Panch Verna’ scheme – red, ocher yellow, leaf green, black and white and ‘Panch Bhuta’ philosophy, where each color symbolically represents various characters.
He said, “Unlike modern painting techniques, which use perspective and color combination, Kerala murals depend on flat composition, defined lines and disciplined use of pure, unmix colors,” he said.
“Voyages: The ancient sea silk route” will close on Tuesday.
