About Dr. ​Darang

Residing in Guwahati, Assam, but originally from Pasighat located in the East Siang district,⁢ Dr. Darang balances his career as a dental surgeon with his passion‍ for sculpture⁣ artistry. He plans ‌to fly to​ London next week​ for this significant⁤ event.

Selection Process Unveiled

In an interview with our publication, Dr. Darang explained that artists must navigate a rigorous two-tier selection ​process to be granted ​exhibition space at‌ this renowned venue.

“Initially, applicants submit photographs and videos ‍of their works during the first round,” he stated. “Following jury review, those chosen move on⁢ and are ‍required ‍to ⁤send their physical pieces.”

Subsequently, artists selected for final display receive invitations for both showcasing and selling their creations in London—a highly prestigious opportunity not afforded to many annually; around a ⁢third of approximately ‌one hundred exhibits ⁣are open globally for competition.”

The Sculptor’s Passion

Beyond ⁣his profession as a dental practitioner,⁤ Dr. Darang has cultivated a strong fascination ⁢for sculpting from an early age.

“My​ initial learning about sculpture⁤ was‍ self-taught,” he ⁣reflected. “However, my experience expanded significantly through workshops led by some distinguished contemporary sculptors in ‌Spain back in 2022 and ‌at ‍The Florence Academy⁢ of Art⁣ situated in Italy during 2024.”

Cultural Representation Through ‌Artistry

He aims to create sculptures⁣ representing various⁣ tribal groups from Northeast India—particularly highlighting ⁢aspects unique to Arunachal Pradesh—to share these⁢ cultural ‌narratives worldwide.
