Description

The human body is said to be comprised of over 37 trillion living cells. While each cell looks almost identical, its function and the hereditary material it contains transforms continuously, influenced by the environment we live in and our experiences of the same.
Ananda-Maya is about going within each of these tiny forms that ascribes to us our physical, emotional, mental, energy or spiritual embodiments. The work conveys an experience of the self in its myriad forms - be it material, sexual, intellectual, intuitive or meditative - so we can perhaps move closer to our childlike weightless selves, unravelling the mysteries of the cosmos and perhaps even becoming one with it.

ABOUT Sukanya Garg

Sukanya Garg explores the human body's intricacies, particularly the perceptions that stem from the constant evolution of cell structures. Her practice is inspired by her unprecedented journey across the world to understand pain and the diverse practices of healing. Sukanya has developed an artistic language that explores life’s fragility and resilience, whilst taking us on a simultaneous path into the body's interiority and the cosmos of the universe. Her practice explores the underlying layers of one’s being, digging deep to unravel the mysteries of identity, perception, reality, and dreams. Understanding how the human perception of these revelations is influenced by an individual’s intrinsic attributes and his or her constantly changing external environment, is what lies at the core of her work. For Sukanya, art is a medium of instilling hope in a turbulent time, such as the one we inhabit today.

A graduate of Public Policy from Duke University, Sukanya Garg’s artistic practice was developed with the guidance of artist Shobha Broota. A trained economist who became an artist, writer, curator, and a poet, her works have been shown at the Melbourne Museum, Australia; Taragaon Museum, Kathmandu; National Museum, Delhi; Academy of Fine Arts, Kolkata; Under the Mango Tree Art Space, Berlin; Užupio Meno Inkubatorius, Vilnius; Centre for Contemporary Art, Bikaner House, Delhi; Palette Art Gallery, Delhi and Dhoomimal Gallery, Delhi among others.

Sukanya was the recipient of the Ravi Jain Memorial Annual Fellowship Award 2021 by Dhoomimal Gallery. Her writings have appeared in several art magazines, journals, and as part of curatorial notes and catalogues. Formerly a writer for STIRworld Magazine, Sukanya has also curated exhibitions and art programs with The Art House at Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in Mumbai. She currently lives and works in Delhi.

ABOUT Test Page

Born in 1965 in the small coastal town of Udupi in Karnataka, Gurudas Shenoy is an acclaimed artist with a career spanning over three decades. Having been born to senior artist G.S. Shenoy, he lived and breathed art since the day he was born, and developed a passion for the colours of nature at an early age. M.F. Husain, a close friend of his father's, was a mentor, and has hugely inspired Gurudas Shenoy's journey as an artist. He has held numerous solo exhibitions and participated in 200+ group shows at leading art galleries in India, including several at the Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai.

Known for his abstract and vibrant cityscapes, Gurudas Shenoy graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts, M.S. University, Baroda in 1988. Shenoy’s passion for nature and its brilliant hues, and cities with their vibrancy and multitude of stories, reflects in his paintings. Dexterous use of colours, lines, light and textures, forms the crux of his stunning abstract cityscapes, capturing the dynamism of architectural spaces with their historicity. Gurudas Shenoy also revisits landscapes from the past - vast abstract terrains, with their undulating surfaces and shadows on the ground. While his medium of choice is oil on canvas, the award-winning artist has a fondness for watercolours, and after much experimentation, he has managed to create a watercolour-like lightness in his oil paintings.
