A new collaborative work by R. Vijay and myself will premiere in August at an exhibition entitled Fabular Bodies: New Narratves in the Art of the Miniature curated by Gayatri Sinha. Fabular Bodies is this year's incarnation of the annual show sponsored by the Harmony Art Foundation.
The new work by R. Vijay and myself is entitled Lost. It consists of a suite of seven miniatures, one of which is in panoramic format, while the other six are square. This elaborate work is a personal narrative that simultaneously tells two related stories. These two related stories radiate from the panoramic miniature in the center. The image above is just one of the seven miniatures that compose the suite.
Fabular Bodies opens with a private vernissage on the evening of August 5th, and opens to public view from August 6th through August 14th. Some of the other artists on display will be Anant Joshi, Chintan Upadhyay, Desmon Lazaro, Mithu Sen, Rina Banerjee, B Manjunath Kamath and Dhruvi Acharya.
Venue: Coomaraswamy Hall, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharah Vastu Sangrahalaya (formerly the Prince of Wales Museum), M G Road, Mumbai
