Academy of Visual Media and Dhoomimal Gallery Announce RADIANCE AMPLIFIED – an India-Korea Art Exhibition

The Academy of Visual Media is proud to announce the highly anticipated 2023 India-Korea Exhibition, RADIANCE AMPLIFIED, at Dhoomimal Art Gallery. After a four-year gap due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the exhibition will be presented online along with a physical catalogue to provide a quicker means of disseminating knowledge and information.

The Academy is excited to relink the broken chain of mutual inspiration between Korea and India and present the artworks from both countries. This exhibition marks the resumption of The Academy’s last interaction with Korea in 2019, and it plans to continue this tradition of exchanging experiences by arranging various creative activities such as art camps, discussions, lectures, visits to modern and historical places, universities, museums, art exhibitions, and studios of practising artists.

The exhibition features a diverse group of artists, each with their own unique style and approach to art. These include: 

Delhi-born Jai Zharotia who has exhibited his work in more than 35 one-man shows and 300 group shows in India and abroad. He is renowned for his skills in printmaking and has been a noteworthy participant in National and International exhibitions on prints. John Philipose, a museologist, author, and photographer, who draws inspiration from his experiences to create abstract landscapes that express the divine in metaphors. S K Sahni, who studied in Japan as a research scholar, has received numerous awards for his painting, including a scholarship from the Japanese Government. Jagdish Chander, who seeks to express silent activity through his artistic expressions.  Prem Singh, who uses intuition and experimentation to discover new forms of expression. 

Rashmi Khurana, who explores and discovers an unfettered expression guided by the tenets of intuition and experimentation. Rashmi recycles and uses different materials with laborious repeated acts to provoke a deep experience and awareness for life and surroundings.  Hem Raj, a Delhi based artist, who has held many solo shows in various places in India and abroad like Bill Lowe Gallery in America and

Galleria Muller and Plate in Germany and participated in several group exhibitions. Hem Raj was awarded the National Award from Lalit Kala Academy which is one of the most prestigious awards in the country.

Thank you for bringing them to my attention.  In addition to the creative activities, The Academy of Visual Media will restart visits to natural landscapes, which have become more important than ever due to the effects of global warming. The Academy of Visual Media believes that art has a great part to play in creating awareness of the need for environmental conservation.
