K. Khosa - The Artist

His artistic enquiry in the past has impelled him to collaborate with his contemporaries in poetry, literature and theatre. This endeavour resulted in journals like 'Criteria' and 'Anti-Poetry'. An experimental play blending theatre, painting and poetry was Ruchika's 'Virajpetta Se Aaye Aurat' performed at the Shri Ram Centre, New Delhi in 1987.

Such concerns also brought him the Department of Culture's senior fellowship (1979-82) for 'Integrating the visual language of Art and content and coordinating it as a whole'.

In 1986 he was asked to do the space conception and execution of the 'International Exhibition of Contemporary Cultural Complexes' by Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts.
