Description

Antarman explores the theme of the synthesis of opposite dimensions and the union that ensues in the form of liberation or an inner awakening. The visual imagery of the artwork draws inspiration from the Hatha Yoga Pradipika text, which speaks of the practice of Hatha Yoga to attain “Samadhi” state or oneness of mind. The union of the solar (yang) or lunar (yin) energies of the body is symbolic of the coalescence of the atman (self) with the Brahman (universe). Using the visual language of cellular biology to create iterations of the crescent moon, the work is symbolic of the luminosity of finding our own inner voice, our own self-realization. The artist hs chosen to work with Bandhani as it emulates the form of a human cell which informs the visual language of her practice. The gold of the Zardozi adds the element of luminosity.

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.
