We are pleased to travel to Hyderabad with the inaugural edition of India Art Fair Edi+ions as one of its 14 curated exhibitors. We will be presenting a thoughtful selection of artworks by artists across four generations from our South Asian gallery programme, including A. Ramachandran, Anju Dodiya, Atul Dodiya, Balkrishna Doshi, Joya Mukerjee Logue, Ravinder Reddy, Sudhir Patwardhan and Zaam Arif.
Some special highlights from our presentation include Ravinder Reddy’s iconic female head, with its contemporary blue veneer, bold eyes and lips, and ethnic floral ornamentation; a life-size sculpture of a young village girl cast in bronze by A. Ramachandran, whose imagery adapts tribal and classical elements of Indian sculptures into expressive modes of representation; a large-scale cabinet of curiosities by Atul Dodiya, populated with found and created objects that speak to the unyielding spirit of the city of Mumbai, previously exhibited at the Bhau Daji Lad Museum; a surrealist sculptural drawing cast in metal by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Balkrishna Doshi, whose consciousness-driven practice explores both formsand formlessness through the play of light and shadow; and new oil paintings that explore the charged intimacy of shared spaces in urban locales by Sudhir Patwardhan, whose solo exhibition recently toured the country, including Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Kochi – alongside a painted shaped mattress by Anju Dodiya; and paintings by Joya Mukerjee Logue and Zaam Arif.
