Are machines and installations purely technological and kinetic or they have creative instincts in them? Shailesh B.R.’s ongoing solo exhibition at the Vadehra Art Gallery in New Delhi expands his realm of work and showcases installations as his artistic muse. Named, The Sky in the Palm, it is curated by Mario-D’Souza and highlights his mechanical practice and how it blends so beautifully with art.
After having exhibited at the Daejeon Museum of Art, South Korea; Colomboscope, Sri Lanka and Abu Dhabi; and the Serendipity Arts Festival, Goa; Shailesh returns to New Delhi with seven kinetic installations. These are accompanied by works on paper and notes which help in filling the gap between the display and its understanding. These notes help one understand the artist’s mind more closely through either actualized facts or invented reality.
