Catch the artists who participated in only drawing will remain talking about what drawing means to their practice, and their ideas.

Simultaneously, the carvings I do on my wood and lino blocks are also a continuous process of mark making that defines my forms and motifs. I keep the forms monochromatic to emphasise on the lines and textures I draw through the carvings. 

The work presented here is my endless reservoir of drawings transitioning one after another, segregated according to certain criteria of form, texture and inspirations to create my own imaginative visual vocabulary. " - Avni Bansal

The works included here are memories that are re-lived through drawing. Some of these are assisted by images and some purely out of memory. But from the moment the pastel touches the paper to create a dot, to the moment that it has finished its walk on paper, the line embodies the memories and emotions—re-lived with the maturity of today, creating an additional layer over the past." - Harsimran Juneja

I have been working on this body of work for a year, as I am moving towards a larger aspect of life—beyond personal history, where I am trying more to say about the present situation of the space we reside in; this present which is becoming the future memory for us. I create a tension of space and motion through the force of the lines that I draw. My drawings are the distorted presentation of realistic incidents and the visuals that impact my thought. I always question myself through the distorted forms of my drawings. " - Jayeti Bhattacharya

To me, drawing is that art work which is able to convey the maximum feel and quality of a situation or emotion of an artist even though it may not have the complete quality of a painting or sculpture. That's why one drawing has endless possibilities." - Suman Chandra

How many drawings a painting has lived." - Enit Maria

When I see something beautiful in nature like small organic objects or moth-eaten roots of some plant, I used to collect and bring it into my studio. I observed the dark interior of these organic objects, the dead veins of roots which were somehow still 'alive' and had their own hidden universe inside them. This admiration for the hidden beauty which was unreachable from the outer visual perception always created an oscillation in my mind between the real and unreal. I started observing these tiny, small objects under the microscope and discovered a grand microcosm inside it. This practice became an internal part of my learning and provides clues to a variety of my expressions in different forms. Drawing became an exclusive art, a more complete form of expression just like painting and sculpture. This led me to the abstract and spiritual aspects of my daily routine. I could see the world as obvious yet in the most abstract way which only an internal vision can express.”  - D Priyanka

Drawing continues to provide an immediate form of expression. It is ideally suited to modern life such as being on the go and allows a greater independence from conventional studio spaces. I think a drawing in whatever shape or form should retain something of the eye, mind and hands of its maker. As with all good art, a drawing must be authentic." - Shivangi Ladha

In the words of Jorge Luis Borges, 

A man sets himself the task of portraying the world. Over the years he fills a given surface with images of provinces and kings, mountains, bays, ships, islands, fish, rooms, instruments, heavenly bodies, horses, and people. Shortly before he dies he discovers that this patient labyrinth of lines is a drawing of his own face.” - Arinjoy Sen

Weaving is inherently a very slow process and in weaving, I have found myself slowing down, taking the time to experience the material and understand the cloth that is being constructed line by line." - Sabiha Dohadwala
