Biennale's 'Master Practice Studios' workshop by sculptor Valsan Koorma Kolleri in Kochi

Under the tutelage of artist Valsan Koorma Kolleri,

Kochi Biennale

Foundation organises a workshop named 'Master Practice Studios' for upcoming artists.

Five students selected from across the country are taking part in workshop. The budding artistes are from Santhiniketan, Delhi School of Arts and Kalady Sankaracharya University. The studio has previously been led by masters such as Jyothi Basu, K. Raghunathan and P. K. Sadanandan.

A strictly conventional education can be boring for young artistes, according to Valsan. He says, “To get rid of this monotony, they shift to various mediums and sometimes it helps them to develop unique creations of their own,” he says. “In a way, it also becomes 'Atma Vidya'(knowledge of the soul) as it is self -learned and self-earned.”

The next session will be led by renowned artist and graphic designer Orijit Sen.
