Lemon and spoon

Medium: My work takes from the comfort and purity of traditional and folk art practices, and intends to move towards the unpredictability of the contemporary. But one must be aware that this ‘intent’ is one of silent exploration, no loud vociferous addressal, no direct polemics, just a firm movement of line, form, colour and a genuine exploration of her surrounding narratives and their versatility. Uses a vibrant palette which gives the work a suggestion of folk art, and she deftly introduces the contemporary element in the way the pictorial space is demarcated in to multiple spaces and perspectives. This is a faint reminder of Mughal miniature paintings, where an entire event is narrated pictorially in the same space, by merely realigning perspective of the protagonist and the surrounding architecture. Hence even though, the land and Its art have been influenced me, I moves away from it’s in-depth almost documentary style of depiction. My work becomes a narrative of a specific event, yet the details of time, space, even the protagonist are erased to leave the work suspended in time and at times even in Context.
