PAU ORGANIZING AN EXHIBITION OF PORTRAITS ‘FAITH’ BY AUSTRALIAN ARTIST

LUDHIANA,

An exhibition of portraits 'Faith' (celebrating Punjabi students in Australia), by the eminent artist Daniel Connell, is being organized at Dr MS Randhawa Art Gallery, PAU, from February 3-9 by the Centre for Communication and International Linkages (CCIL) in association with TAC Art Gallery. PAU Vice-Chancellor Dr Manjit Singh Kang will inaugurate the art exhibition on February 3 at 4.00 p.m. while the renowned Punjabi poet, Dr Surjit Patar will be the guest of honour on this occasion.

A visual art project 'Faith,' created by Australian artist Daniel Connell in collaboration with the five Punjabi Sikh students currently studying in Australia, reflects a desire to establish a human connection and empathy between the artist and the subject. These portraits seek to emphasize the individual and his work, honouring the essential teaching of Guru Nanak that work is central to an expression of faith. Many Sikhs have chosen the challenging task of driving taxis and have become a familiar and colourful part of Australian cityscapes, providing many opportunities for intercultural exchange. An example of cross cultural relationship, the portraits are larger than life trying to capture the element of heroism in the subject. The art exhibition has been planned in conjunction with the international conference on \'Preparing agriculture for climate change\' at PAU which is scheduled for February 6-8, said Dr. Jagtar Singh Dhiman, Additional Director of Communication.
