The Guild,  Alibaug
 

The Guild is delighted to present Procrustean Possibilities a solo exhibition of new works by Zakkir Hussain. The Guild had earlier exhibited Zakkir Hussain’s works in a two person show at NCPA, 2006, and then in various group shows at The Guild Art USA Inc., New York, 2006 and 2012.   

“Hussain’s poetic refrain manifests in the violent leitmotifs of corporal discipline and restraint that have punctuated his drawings for almost a decade. And while his repeated and rehearsed images might be read a closure or an impasse, I would like to suggest that the poetic possibilities of the refrain may point to something a little more slippery. In keeping with this, my short introduction to Procrustean Possibilities considers how Hussain’s use of the visual refrain may perform an ambiguous function to not only mark a world replete with the tacit ironies of entropy but also to potentially point to untold paths that exist beyond the picture plane.” - Dr. Kathleen Wyma
