Posted by The Art Ministry Team on October 10, 2007
We are delighted to announce that Textile designer Amarjeet Kaur Nandhra’s work has been selected by The Embroiderer’s Guild.
Appearing at the Alexandra Palace in London from 11th to 14th October will be a selection of new work by the talented West London artist, Amarjeet Kaur Nandhra. Her work will be showcased within the The Knitting and Stitching Shows.
Amarjeet is a successful independent artist, producing vibrant and provocative pieces, ranging from wall hangings to free standing three-dimensional sculptures. She uses all types of materials in her practice including fabric, paper, metal and glass. The remarkable graphic power in Amarjeet’s work often derives from the dramatic events in her own life, which include references to both her Asian heritage and British home. Over the years, she has developed a unique style and technique that embodies both eastern and western traditions of textile art.
Amarjeet Kaur Nandhra is a key artist with The Art Ministry whose recent successes have given rise to her reputation as a dedicated, thoughtful and dexterous artist willing to explore techniques and style whereby her work is constantly challenged.
The Knitting and Stitching Shows where Amarjeet’s work will appear is taking place at three other venues, although her work will primarily be showcased at the Alexander Palace. Other venues include; the National Exhibition Centre, RDS, Ballsbridge, Dublin and the International Halls at Harrogate and take place throughout September to November 2007.
This year the Guild is offering each graduate a gallery format space to showcase their work. The show expects to attract 47,000 people over the four days in London and a further 39,000 in Harrogate and an attendance in the excess of 20,000 in Dublin.
