Suman Dey takes ordinary everyday experiences of his life in the city and weaves them into something extraordinary – achieved by arranging smaller, fragmented parts within a single artwork. Taking inspiration from his experimentation with geometric forms and mark-making, this workshop by Emami Art in collaboration with KCC aims to explore abstract art through colourful collage-making.
This workshop is a public-facing programme under Suman Dey’s solo Chance Remains of Another Time on view till 9 May 2026 at Emami Art. Together with facilitator Amritah Sen in presence of the artist Suman Dey, we offer the attendees a rich opportunity to learn about what influences Dey’s practice, get introduced to the world of abstract art, and apply them in their own creative practice using different kinds of paper and glue.
Note: Participants are required to carry the following:
-
Scissors
-
Dry mediums (colour pencils, markers, soft pastels, pastels, sketch pens, etc) of one’s choice
-
Some clicked images of the city and its forms as reference
