Don’t miss the walk-through of Anasuya Mohapatra’s solo show this ART NIGHT THURSDAY 10th October, 6-9pm at Kamalnayan Bajaj art gallery, Bajaj Bhavan, 226, Nariaman Point, Mumbai.
In "Ivory Forest," Anasuya’s sculptures frequently depict adolescent female figures, reflecting both the tangible and intangible narratives of the female experience. By incorporating textile and cross-stitching patterns, she seamlessly merges her personal heritage with her artistic vision. Her intricate carvings and soft color palettes invite viewers to engage deeply with themes of identity, memory, and femininity.
Today, Anasuya stands at the forefront of integrating sola wood into contemporary art, bridging its historical significance with modern artistic expressions. She seamlessly blends traditional techniques with innovative approaches, preserving the craft's rich heritage while pushing its boundaries. Her work not only maintains the physical craft of sola wood but also revitalizes its narrative and cultural significance in the modern era.
"Ivory Forest" promises to be a thought-provoking exhibition that not only highlights the beauty of Anasuya Mohapatra's work but also invites a deeper understanding of the narratives woven into each piece. Through her creative exploration, Anasuya breathes new life into a rich heritage, establishing her work as a compelling intersection of tradition and innovation.
