TASVEER Presents HIKARI
~Contemporary Photography from Japan~
Super premium Menswear brand Luxure Louis Philippe has joined hands
with contemporary photography gallery Tasveer to bring together the works of
avante garde photographers, as part of a forthcoming 5 city exhibition tour.
In this exhibition, Tasveer in association with Luxure Louise Philippe is
delighted to bring the work of some of the most celebrated and influential
Japanese photographers working today - to be exhibited in India for the first
time.
Japan has one of the most active and creative photography
scenes in the world - with many Japanese artists having played a pioneering
role in the global development of contemporary photography, and its acceptance
into the art world.
The exhibition therefore provides a unique opportunity to
see a wide range of approaches to the medium - from large scale constructed
landscapes to manipulated micro photographs. In addition to this, it explores
the notion of ‘Hikari’ (the Japanese word for light) in each of the
photographers' work. The photographers show us that light can be used as both a
tool of illumination and as a cloak - either revealing something we might not
normally see, or conversely, covering something up.
The photographs in this exhibition show perfectly
photography’s position as an important art form, as well as its inescapable
position as a true craft. Luxure Louis Philippe is proud to partner such an
exhibition, as the ideals of creativity and perfectionism are concepts dear to
the brand. It derives inspiration from the creative vision of artists and that of
the skill and vision of craftsmen, merging these two together in their
endeavours towards perfection. And as testimony to its devoir towards art &
craftsmanship, the brand lends its support to Tasveer’s Seventh Season of
Exhibitions.
“Luxure Louis Philippe is an exponent of art, creativity and innovation
and true to this, we are elated to announce our collaboration with the
country’s pioneer in photography exhibitions, which we believe will be a
fruitful and successful venture in showcasing the best talent and also reaching
a larger audience about the wonderful joy that the art of photography can give”
said Mr. Jacob John, Brand Head, Louis Philippe, India.
The aims of the exhibition is therefore to showcase the
diverse and creative world of contemporary Japanese photography, as well as to
see how new readings of the photographers' work can emerge when seen in
relation to the exhibition's theme.
