Indian artist, Tokyo drift
Brunch
|December 14, 2024
Kunel Gaur's Kumi series turns geometric shapes and Japanese graphic design into art. Are you getting early 2000s vibes too?
Even among Indian contemporary artists, Kunel Gaur's work is unique. He mixes design concepts and artistic mediums in a way I haven't seen before.
He plays with a variety of architectural materials: Wood, concrete, resin, metal, acrylic paint, screen printing techniques, glass, electrical equipment. He even works with text, in the form of prose, poetry or both. Much of his work is inspired by the design movements of the 1950s, which saw the flowering functional design and brutalist architecture.
