ArtFort India and Himachal Art Heritage in collaboration with other organizations have already organized International Art Exhibitions at New Delhi, Kolkatta, Nagar and Jammu and Art Camp at Naggar during the recent past. Only the Black & White Drawings and Prints are being displayed in the show. The purpose of organizing a show, entirely dedicated to black & white art works, is to revive the mediums in long tested visual expressions used by our ancestors to express and share their views. Further Black & White works are not involved in details which create diversions in the imagination of the viewers.
The third view in this regard is that while viewing Black & White visuals the viewer merges his ‘imaginative fill ups’ to complete the visuals according to his wish. The three artists from Jammu viz. Jang S. Verman, Anuradha Devi and Shivali Jamwal have already participated in many art exhibitions and camps in and outside the state at state, national and international levels.
