ART

Some-body Any-body No-body, Mumbai

What is our body’s co-relation to objects from everyday life? In her second solo exhibition, artist Meenakshi Sengupta attempts to answer this question, using diverse materials like stone, wood, hair, pigments and moving images in her creations. “Drawing on a variety of implements, I dissect my formal training in miniature painting to explore more pictorial and sculptural possibilities concerning the body.” says Sengupta about her show, where she uses the human body as the basis for all her works.
Some-body Any-body No-body is on display at Sakshi Salon (2^nd Floor, Grants Building, Colaba), Mumbai from August 31 – September 29.
