Artist Anjolie Ela Menon returns to Mumbai with a new exhibition
Live MintMumbai has a special place in Anjolie Ela Menon’s heart. It’s fitting, then, that her new exhibition features a painting, The Fisherman’s Story, which is an ode to the city and the sea Menon, 83, has returned to Mumbai with a solo show, Anjolie The Wanton Fabulist, after nine years. “ because of the complicated subject matters and the juxtaposition of different images in the same painting that I am well-known for,” says Menon. “I have started to believe that there are other mothers of divine beings, who are also worshipped in their own right, thus giving rise to the Divine Mother series.” Menon says she has worked really hard the whole of 2023 to create this new body of work, and describes her daily visits to her studio in Nizamuddin Basti.
