Shapes and allure of a faraway hometown

New Indian Express  

KOCHI: Sutra Art Gallery in Mattancherry is resplendent with a myriad of artworks from the eastern state of Chandigarh. The exhibition showcases the collaborative efforts of women artists from Chandigarh and conveys the artists’ connection with their hometown in distinct ways. I focus on building forms where familiar elements undergo infinite variations, akin to the panoramic view from a towering skyscraper, offering a bird’s-eye perspective of urban existence,” says Reena. ‘The Map’ captures the geometric structures prevalent in Chandigarh, while the other painting offers a glimpse of the Shivalik Mountains, a defining feature of our state,” she elaborates. According to Bheem Malhotra, chairman of Chandigarh Lalit Kala Academy, the exhibition aims to foster cultural exchange among artists from both states.
