Your Tutor - Atul Vohora

Born in East Africa, Atul Vohora currently lives and works in London. His paintings are layered, braiding together strands of memory, culture and lived experience into a body of work that has a powerful immediacy. Using a rich language of pattern, imagery and iconography, the paintings make visible a strikingly imaginative and deeply felt and immersive world.

Drawing in its most direct form, continues to be central to his practice. The work is charged with a sense of discovery and wonder, a luminous clarity that is powerfully rooted in the act of looking.

Location

The workshop will be hosted at Cranmer Studio. ​Our location is far enough away to break with the familiarity of the status quo and encourage reflection. North Norfolk, on the east coast of England, is famous for its expansive skyline. Cranmer is a three-hour drive from London, or a 90-minute train journey and 40 minutes by car from the station.
