FRANCESCO CLEMENTE : EMBLEMS OF TRANSFORMATION

29 Apr-4 Jul 2015

Overview

“There are 108 beads in the japa mala Hindus and Buddhists use to meditate. This is a meditative series, and it powerfully conjures India, where at one time, artists were often pilgrims, even secular-minded ones…” – Kiran Desai The directors of Blain|Southern are delighted to present an exhibition of new watercolours by Francesco Clemente. Bringing together 108 works on paper, all of which are delicately and intimately scaled, Emblems of Transformation continues the artist’s long-standing relationship with the medium of watercolour, and also, with India.
