⌁ hot summer
the august twenty-eighth b-b-bonus this week in outsider art *paid* newsletter
FIND OF THE WEEK
The other day I thought to myself, you know, I haven’t checked in with the good people at Gallery of Everything in London lately, they usually have some great work on display and excellent exhibits going on. And by golly, I was right! Thanks intuition and/or superpowers I have, or maybe aliens!
For a few weeks more, Gallery of Everything has a “A Summer of Gods and Goddesses” on display, which is an installation of sculptures and figures by the self-taught Indian artist Nek Chand Saini.
Born in India before the Partition, Saini was a refugee who went on to become a cultural figure of international renown. His gesamtkunstwerk was a secret maze of narrow walkways and sloping gardens, decorated with hand-crafted figurines of cement, ceramic, bangle and bottletop. — Gallery of Everything
If you don’t live in London, you can check out the works on display here, nearly twenty in total all uniquely beautiful like this “small face” above which I can only dream of having greeting me in the entry way of my home.
For available Nek Chand works, contact Gallery of Everything.
