Pehchaan Art from another India

Inspired by the vibrance and pattern in Adele’s drawings Adele, Kevin and Annabel visited the Pehchaan Art from another India Exhibition at Tramway, Glasgow.

“Pehchaan (meaning ‘Identity’ in Hindi and Urdu) is an exciting collaborative project at Tramway, which showcases a new collection of North Indian art commissioned for Glasgow Museums. The collection features folk art, textiles and contemporary works alongside material from Glasgow Museum’s original collection. Objects are displayed within an immersive and vibrant environment, commissioned by Tramway and conceived by local designer and India Street participant Gabriella Marcella.”

The colour hit you as soon as you walked into the room and the scale of the work was really impressive. Adele notices the detail in things, and thought the pattern’s could have been lined up better. Her experience in wall papering her flat and lining up the paper patterns beautifully would have come in handy here.
