Release of book on Vamona Navelcar
On April 12 , 2013 at 6 pm Gallery Gitanjali will host the book launch of “Vamona Navelcar-An Artist of Three Continents” by Anne Kettringham to honour and celebrate the singular journey of “Ganesh” Vamona Ananta Sinai Navelcar .
Twice recipient of Gulbenkian fellowships (1963 and 1971), in 1968 Vamona won an international award at the International Exhibition of Art in Monte Carlo for his ink drawing, “Angoche Woman”. His works are in private collections and museums worldwide, in Lisbon, London, Geneva and other cities, and Goa, besides group shows in India and abroad.
Vamona’s oeuvre spans several decades, continents and media including murals and bas-relief composed of metallic, wooden and glass structures.
The book launch will also mark the opening of a retrospective exhibition at Gallery Gitanjali from the 12-19 of April 2013. Anne’s biography of Vamona delves into his trials, tribulations and triumphs intertwined as they were with the history of the times and continents he lived in.
Inspired by the wonder of his works she was encouraged and supported by Mr. Anthony Athaide of Village Sanctuary Arts to pen this book which will be available as a limited edition of only 200 copies, personally signed by Vamona Navelcar at the Book Launch at Gallery Gitanjali.
