Painting

Miniature and oil. The miniatures borrow the discipline of the old ateliers and turn it on the modern city.

Miniature

10 works

Indian miniature paintings reach simultaneously for the crispness of realistic depiction as well as the poise of the idealized representation. Here collaboratively produced miniature paintings appear at first glance to sustain the promise inherent to this traditional form. But as you peer closely, they begin to subvert the lyrical effect of this traditional manner of representation completely. The paintings show impossibly profane, highly absurd, imaginary urbanscapes, presented in the disarmingly naïve manner of traditional paintings. While ordinary buildings, objects, streets, landscape and people are their visual substance, the paintings are about the culture of urban living in India.

Oil
