Sanjeev Kohli’s print ‘St. Parduman of Glasgow’ is a digital image with additional screenprinted elements in gold. The work was generated from an initial idea of Sanjeev’s focussing on his late father, Parduman Singh Kohli, and what it means to be Glaswegian and “belong” to the city that his father came to call home.
The image was generated via collaboration between Sanjeev Kohli and GPS Master Printer Murray Robertson. Sanjeev supplied the original concept, photographs and scans providing the framework for the creation of a collage of images that are carefully layered and fused together by Murray to present the original idea in a coherent form. Gold elements were screenprinted separately by Master Printer Scott Campbell.
Best known for his role as shopkeeper Navid Harrid in the BBC’s award-winning sitcom Still Game, which ran for nine series and three sold-out live shows at Glasgow’s Hydro, Sanjeev was co-writer and co-star of the acclaimed BBC Radio 4 comedy Fags, Mags and Bags, and has written for Chewin’ the Fat and Goodness Gracious Me. Born in London and raised in Glasgow to Sikh parents who moved from India in the 1960s, Kohli often draws on his experience as a proud “Glaswasian” in his work.1of 2
