Two artists, two creations, one show. Contemporary Abir Karmakar and Sunil Padwal’s new projects are showing at an exhibition in Bengaluru, each creation as fascinating as the other. Karmakar’s Follow Piece covers themes of voyeurism and piracy, capturing virtual ‘moments’ on his canvas. Padwal’s series, Intertwined Plasticity draws on the past and present, illustrating how they are always connected. Working with fine lines, the artist portrays captivating images that ‘enact an assemblage of unspoken thoughts in multiple layers’.
