Collage Artist Shibani Sehgal Transforms Chaos into Beauty

In a captivating exhibition at Triveni Kala Sangam's Art Gallery, artist and art historian Shibani Sehgal is inviting viewers into a world where chaos gives birth to beauty. Her solo exhibition, "RTUSAMHĀRA - Romancing the Chaos," which runs until October 16th, features 15 stunning mixed-media works on paper that shimmer with gold, silver, and copper.

Sehgal's collages are a quiet meditation on nature, intuition, and transformation. Taking inspiration from John Milton's "Paradise Lost," the exhibition captures the fragile balance between chance and order. Sehgal's art, like Milton's verse, suggests that creation itself is born of disorder, where the raw and the refined coexist in the same breath.

Collage, for Sehgal, is a process of surrender and discovery. From discarded scraps and printed remnants, she forges a new visual language where limitation becomes liberation. Each collage unfolds like a season in transition, with birds, leaves, and blossoms appearing as memories of movement, gestures that linger in the mind.

Shibani's works carry an emotional resonance, the pulse of growth, decay, and rebirth woven into every layer. In "RTUSAMHĀRA," the Sanskrit word for "cycle of seasons," she celebrates that eternal rhythm, turning chaos into choreography and fragments into forms of meaning.
