4th Edition of India Art Fair:
In this exhibition converge the travels of two artists: Sunaina Bhalla, an Indian artist who lives in Singapore for the moment and Jordi Gispert Pi an artist from the region of Catalonia in Spain. Both are thoughtful artists who are engaged with their personal environment.
Jordi comes to India for the first time with a painting exhibition bringing ‘The world’s largest landscape”. Through the artworks the signature style of Jordi is unfolded. Almost otherworldly magical figures which center around the eco systems. Jordi says:”…The message of the art piece is to provoke reflection and second thoughts about the current abuse of nature and the way it is manipulated. The way trees have existed before humanity and the way trees exist today after humanity. The assembly of the art piece allows for easy hanging against any type of walls, and also allows for suspension from the ceiling. The viewing pleasure of the art piece is maximized when the light reflects in 3 simultaneous modes…”
Sunaina on the other hand has been engaged with issues of gender in the recent past. The body of her work seeks to foreground the increasing visibility of the contemporary Indian woman. Sunaina wonders why Indian women feel the need to pursue equality with men, when they have reserves of formidable strength within and this is what the thematics of the show.
Parallel Journeys is an interesting trajectory of two diverse voices from two different geographies expressing the emotions of two distinct artists.
