Page 5 - Daroz (2018)

In 1972, Daroz assisted his teacher Professor K.G.Subramanyan to
make the Bangladesh terracotta mural series with slabs. This is when
he understood that one can be inspired by tradition and combines it
with contemporary concept, that an ancient, time-tested technique,
such as that of pot-making, when used in combination with a modern
sensibility, it is charged with relevance and context.

Today Daroz’s name has become synonymous with Architectural
Large-Scale Ceramic Installations in India.

The ceramic large scale wall mural is a format that many artists in
India enjoy in public spaces and as private commissions from corporate
houses and private domestic residences. The scope of making a dramatic
artistic statement is unlimited as the size of the canvas is vast. From
the beginnings of the Copper Chimney restaurant series, to the huge
murals at the Lohia Bhavan in New Delhi, Daroz has repeatedly shown
his mastery over the monumental format in the ceramic medium.
