Twleve Months
Twleve Months, Enamel paint on fiberglass, 30 to 45 cms high, 2009
Twelve Months is about the sudden rush of disorientation I felt after moving from one city to another. I tried to
represent hectic life in
claustrophobic city that never sleeps with the outburst of my different emotions in coping up with
life. Each emotion reflects events that have happened over the period of time,
that has left strong impressions on me.

Field trip to McLeodGanj
Field trip to study Buddhist settlement in McLeodGanj
The 14th Dalai Lama found Himachal Pradesh as an
ideal place to establish his “capital in exile” at McLeodGanj
after he escaped from Tibet in 1959 and took refuge in India. I
did series of drawings and spoke to many people. These sketches were done as part of a self exploratory field
study, by visiting Mcleodganj a couple of times in a period of three
years. Here are few sketches out of several drawings done during my
stay there.
Visual Diary
"Visual Diary" solo show at Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Center, New Delhi
Raised in Delhi and relocating to claustrophobic Mumbai city opened doors to new culture that led me to document day to day life in sketchbooks. This in-turn churned up to spontaneous artistic expression seamlessly shedding it out by combining different embedded events that have affected my life- consciously or subconsciously. This documentation was shown as a solo show titled “Visual Diary” at the Visual Arts Gallery, New Delhi.
The exhibition comprising of paintings, drawings, video art and sculptures done in past few years, was about loosening chaos in mind by translating day to day life in the form of a diary. The body of work has certain specific reflections of events which have happened over the period of time that has left strong impressions on the artist. These embedded events have affected life consciously or subconsciously and has urged me to collectively document it with different visual media.
