Brief about Artists
Bakula Nayak was borned in Bengaluru. Her practice is centred around collecting vintage paper. She is a Pittsburgh-based artist . In her view The paintings should work basically as the eliminator of space and nature in our world. The blue and pink parts represent human construction and consumption. In her view every painter moves from an anthropocentric society (where everything is central to man and mankind) to a more biocentric one — where all forms of life have an intrinsic value.”
Gopa Trivedi belonged from Vadodara Gujarat . Her main concern is to address social and individual anxieties, through her art work. She is inspired by Indian miniature traditions. In her views “The images and forms are used as metaphors that reflect the social and political concerns of my surroundings and time,”
Pranati Panda belongs from Delhi . She worked with varied materials, techniques, patterns and textures. Her works depict her mindspace and the relationship between human beings and nature. Her current series of work is about our mind, a strong sense of wonder about the fragility of mind, wonder about the working of one’s memory, about the visible and the invisible.”
Revati Sharma Singh belongs to Himachal Pradesh and graduated from Delhi university .Her work is inspired by her spiritual leanings and memories . Her most concern is expressing freedom through her artwork , Freedom from dogma and religion, from close mindedness, to not care for what was expected of me, to not get influenced by anyone…”
Shalina Vichitra address concerns and questions regarding ‘belonging’ and the fragility of our existence through her art work.Her series are simply chronicles that frame any piece of land, a chunk, markings on its surface, its layers and the patterns in the overall fabric of the earth
Shalini Dam is a postgraduate from Wales, UK. She creates an optical illusion with clay, by making only one part of the image visible from an angle and animating the surface.
Latitude 28 is an art gallery of delhi definitely playing an important role to promote art and culture . During these days many exhibitions are going one. Every art lovers should visit and appreciate these works
