I rediscovered the beauty of Origami during my teaching interactions with children. The forms, patterns and rhythms that unfolded through the process extended the possibilities of modelling both the physical and illusional spaces within the paintings.
The apparent ease with which urban development projects work with brick and concrete, raising and erasing structures with rhythmic frequency, often typify whimsy rather than careful consideration. “Echoes of a Ventriloquist” and “A Background Score” can be viewed as mythologised narratives that refer to the ensuing urban drama of devious schemes, invisible voices and unknown heroes at play. Amidst this is the inevitable impact of Nature and its evolving changes.
These works were part of Malhar: A lyrical Exposition, an online exhibition curated by Chhavi Jain and presented by Anant Art, based on the theme of Raag Malhar, which is known to be associated with rains during the monsoon.
