SUMMARY:Williamson Art Gallery & Museum: Williamson Art Gallery: East Meets
  West
DESCRIPTION:EAST MEETS WEST EXHIBITION CELEBRATING THE WORK OF SUSHIL KUMAR
  DATTA- ARTIST\, TEXTILE DESIGNER\, FRIEND IN YOGA.\n\nIn the late 1960s a
 nd 1970s eyes were turning to India for inspiration in philosophy\, music 
 and art. Indian patterns were all the rage and Sushil Datta was one of the
  designers who carried that forward.\nThis exhibition looks at his early d
 ays in India\, born in 1938 in a small village now in\n\nBangladesh\, his 
 journey to the UK and his career as a creator of fabrics and wallpapers fo
 r Edinburgh Weavers\, Sanderson\, John Lewis and Cole &amp\; Sons amongst 
 others. It includes both commercial projects and designs that were never p
 ut into production.\n\nThe vivid colours and the swirling intricacy of the
  designs are a stunning reminder of the boldness of the period and Sush Da
 tta’s delight in bringing the best of Indian style to the West.\n\nHe co
 ntinued as a teacher in Bolton before retirement and now lives in Birkenhe
 ad.\n\nIn addition\, an exhibition based on Sush Datta’s own regime in y
 oga is in the Community Gallery until 11th June.\n\nWe are delighted to ge
 t some insight into these two very different but interconnected exhibition
 s through the Williamson Talks organised by the Williamson and Priory Frie
 nds.\n\nSaturday 3rd June 11am\nSush Datta will give a talk about his life
  in yoga and a demonstration.\n\nSaturday 1st July 11am\nSush Datta will g
 ive a talk about his life\, experience and thoughts on design in his exhib
 ition. To download the poster click here Williamson Talk SD 2nd 2017\n\nTh
 e talks are always free but donations are welcomed to the charity.\n\nFor
