Pratap Morey: Concrete Ciphers
In this exhibition, Pratap continues to explore his preoccupations with the constantly morphing artificial geography of urban spaces.
In his wider art practice, Morey uses a range of media, including photographic images, digital archival prints, architectural drawings and engravings. In this show, the artist consciously moves away from the digital image, to work only with lines, be it in the form of drawings, relief sculpture and painting.
His imagery focuses on industrial development, specifically the constant unorganized bombardment of cities in the name of redevelopment, which rapidly engulfs the neutral and vacant spaces available. The architectural ciphers in this exhibition are a starting point from which to understand the potential of play in the cityscape. The exhibition is accompanied by an essay written by Meera Menezes.
