Description

Kundalini is often related with the divine feminine energy located at the base of the spine, or what is called the Muladhara chakra. The awakening of the Kundalini then often connotes the movement of energy, almost in a snake-like motion, from the base chakra upwards across the 7 chakras to the crown of the head, in the process creating experiences of physical pleasure and spiritual bliss for the person experiencing it. This work is about the practice of meditation that helps one journey inwards, to find a sense of equanimity, healing and an awakened sense of self.

  • 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.
