Peter BurkePeter Burke works with man made materials intended to evolve with natural weathering processes. He says; ‘ Central to my work is the idea of human presence. I feel we have a predisposition to recognise and read the human form with an intensity that accords to no other visual activity’. In these works we see the structures of engineering meet with the fragmented form. |

BERKELEY SQUARE GALLERY INDIAN SERIES |
Balraj Khanna
|
 |
| In his paintings we see the parts of the canvas unify in a process of repetition. No part dominates the whole, but with his concern for the analogies with music in painting, what unfolds is an inner energy of unified pictorial thought refined and condensed into delicate lines and detail. Balraj Khanna was born in Punjab, India in 1940. Between 1965-70 the artist lived and worked in both England and France and founded the Horizon Gallery, London in 1986. His work is held in numerous public collections throughout Europe, including the V&A Museum, London, Ville de Paris, Paris, Ashmoleum Museum, Oxford and Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon. |

F.N.SOUZA
|
||
Born in 1924 in Saligao, Goa, Souza, along with fellow artists founded the Progressive Artists’ Group in 1947at the leading the edge of the Indian modernist art movement. He is seen by many as “India’s most important, and famous, modern artist…of a generation whose creative roots remained anchored securely and authentically to the expressive modernism inspired by Picasso”.The Guardian, June 17, 2002 He came to London in 1949 and by the 1950’s shot to fame with his one-man show at Gallery One in London. Along with several solo exhibitions in London he was invited to exhibit internationally including the Venice Biennale in 1954, Guggenheim Foundation, New York in 1967 and the Festival of India, Royal Academy of Art, London in 1982. Like Picasso who was working at much the same time in Europe, Souza was a brilliant and innovative print maker. His etchings and lithographs from the 1960s have only recently been re-discovered and make a very important contribution to the cannon of his work. |

Akbar Padamsee - Works on Paper
|
| Born 1928, Akbar Padamsee’s work spans the gamut of media from his traditional modernist leanings towards oil and acrylic to his more recent photography and computer generated graphic art. Born in Mumbai in 1928, Padamsee received a Diploma in Fine Arts from the Sir J.J. School of Art in 1949 and moved to Paris the same year. In 1965 he received the J.D. Rockefeller III Fellowship and worked as artist-in-residence at the Stout State University, Wisconsin. He moved back to India shortly thereafter, in 1967. During 1969-70, Padamsee was awarded the prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru Fellowship and it was within this same period that he made four short films, one of which was ‘SYZYGY’ based on a set of his animated geometrical drawings, followed by ‘Events in a Cloud Chamber’. A keen student of Sanskrit he is well versed with ancient vedic texts such as the Upanishads and draws from these various influences in his art. In 1997–98 he was awarded the Kalidas Samman, a civilian honour, by the Madhya Pradesh State Government. |
