The freedom from one's familiar environment and routine life, pattern together with the exposure and excitement of breathing and taking in a new context and culture lifted the group's spirits. There was a great deal of learning, caring and sharing amongst the artists and this bonhomie and intimacy makes a discreet appearance in some of the work that the artists have created since their return. Themed around culture, entertainment and cuisine, the star artists in the camp have featured a myriad range of colorful images of the amazing people, their cultural and social practices as well as the country's wonderful landscape for the show. There is also much else that is represented indirectly through the palette, brush strokes and camera in the new body of work that oozes out the ambience of London and its rich culture from around the world. The city's historic buildings juxtaposed against its modern state of the art infrastructure, western ethos within a multi cultural society surrounded by a rich landscape- the artists managed to soak in all this and take lots of photographs during the camp. The works in the exhibition present and illustrate some of these encounters and experiences.

Anjolie Ela Menon's two faces in acrylic on acid free paper include a beautiful side profile of a girl in a contemplative serene mode in its amazingly sedate beauty. The pale, eastern continental look of the boy in the other portrait comes in a frontal profile with a faint but charmingly painted checked pattern in the background. With his eyes looking downward there is a simple innocence that pervades the image.

Achuthan Kudallur's inimitable abstract works overlaid with lines, dots and geometric forms juxtaposed one behind the other,
seem to recall patterns on the floors at historic Down Hall in the UK reminding one of the contemplative weekend spent there. The bold colors- reds, oranges and blacks of his work on the other hand offer a contrast to the green or grey English landscape.
