TYEB MEHTA Bearing Weight FEATURED EVENTS

This Artist in Me workshop explores how lines, marks, and spatial forms come together to create rhythm, tension, and balance. Drawing from TYEB MEHTA’s practice, the session examines how abstraction builds visual and emotional harmony through the interaction of form, colour, and space.

Led by artist Ruchika Wason Singh, the workshop focuses on using simple visual elements as building blocks for composition. Through guided exercises, participants experiment with colour, repetition, and placement to understand how forms interact, overlap, and generate rhythm across a surface.

The process emphasises the relationship between tension and balance, where multiple elements coexist within a composition. Much like TYEB MEHTA’s work, where controlled structures hold emotional intensity, participants explore how visual harmony can emerge through careful arrangement, contrast, and restraint.

Designed for adults, the workshop encourages focused observation, experimentation, and self-expression, offering a space to engage with abstraction as both a visual and conceptual practice.
