Fashion’s Brush with Art #3: Dhruvi Acharya for Verve
DHRUVI ACHARYA
“I wanted the image to reflect the current environment for women in India.”
FIRST REACTION ON SEEING KALKI’S IMAGE
“She’s beautiful! Why did they crop her legs?”
THE INSPIRATION AND THOUGHT BEHIND HER ARTISTIC CREATION
“I wanted the image to reflect the current environment for women in India. I know Kalki has worked on this issue through her medium and so have I, in mine. So this is a work dealing with a topic that is close to both our hearts.”
THE FUSION OF ART, FASHION AND PHOTOGRAPHY
“This is fun!”
Dhruvi Acharya began exhibiting internationally in 1998, soon after receiving her MFA from MICA, USA. Her work focuses on the physiological and emotional aspects of an urban woman’s life in a world teeming with discord, violence and pollution. After nine years in the US, she currently lives and works in Mumbai.
