ANW I DELHI I FEB 27, 2015 I 1st Published 2320
















Are you fascinated by painting of young Indian turks Jitish Kallat, T.V. Santosh, Manjunath Kamath or Mithu Sen? If yes, than Vadehra Art Gallery has bring an opportunity to art lovers to enthralled themselves with its exhibition Excavation/Eruption, curated by the leading art critic Yashodhara Dalmia.

Vadehra Art Gallery has more than 20 outstanding paintings and scripture by young and acclaimed artists on display from February 26 to March 25.

The show includes the works by Jagannath Panda, Sumedh Rajendran, Hema Upadhyay,​ Anoli Perera, ​Babu Eshwar Prasad, Ravinder Reddy, Shakuntala Kulkarni​, Suhasini Kejriwal, Waswo X Waswo, Varunika Saraf​, Masooma Syed​ and Muktinath Mondal​.
           
In this show contemporary Indian artists scan with an ironical eye, the new glittering towers and glitzy malls conjuncted with the slums, cesspools and other detritus of existence. The extreme well being and cringing deprivations now largely provide the binaries of existence.

From Ravinder Reddy's iconic head, which is now carrying a load of bricks to Jagannath Panda's global cesspool, the works of artists in this show reveal the juggernaut of progress, which has left the ordinary person in a state of dismal dessication.

The Sri Lankan artist Anoli Perera assembles elevated utopias which gives life to all planes of existence, disrupted by games of power and wealth, which release conflict, terrorism and war. While T.V. Santhosh places man under the radar where the constant surveillance evokes eerie undertones of violence.


(The show is open to public for a period of 4 weeks from 26 February – 25 March 2015  at Vadehra Art Gallery)
