In a collaboration with Jaipur Rugs, artist Gurjeet Singh has created a new body of work to reflect the reality of artisans' lives. The exhibition, Dreamers, has been envisioned not just as a 'tribute to the lives of artisans and residents of Jaipur…but also the emotions that Gurjeet resonated with most deeply,' states the gallery note. Throughout his practice, Singh has explored ideas of queerness and identity through his textile sculptures. In this show, he looks at the notion of individuality in relation to the 'patriarchal and tradition-bound context of the artisans' lives.' The collaborative pieces ere created with Godhi, Boogli, Gajanand, Pinki, Pushpa, Jahir, Nishrat, and Rais. At Chemould Prescott Road, Mumbai, till 7 June, 10am-6pm. A painting by Abhishek Singh on show at the 'Process to Path' exhibition.
Ojas Art is presenting a solo exhibition, Process to Path, by Abhishek Singh, who combines spiritual themes, elements from myths and legends and a deep reverence for the natural world in his works. In this show, Singh has tried to decipher the relationship between the artist and the process of creating art through sketches and acrylic works on paper and canvas. 'The highlight is one of his live paintings, Elephants can Fly, created at the Jaipur Literature Festival 2024. This artwork also scripts the beginning of a new mythological narrative centred around elephants,' states the gallery note.
