9 Oct
Summary
- Kanchan Chander demonstrated her art by painting on a curator's shirt.
- The exhibition spans five decades of her diverse artistic practice.
- Her art evolved from cautious self-portraits to geometric drawings.
Kanchan Chander's retrospective, "The Grammar of the Self," opened this week at Bikaner House, showcasing five decades of her artistic evolution. Curator Kishore Singh's shirt became an impromptu canvas, illustrating Chander's dynamic artistry.
The exhibition traces her journey from "guarded, cautious" early self-portraits to her more recent geometric drawings. Chander described her artistic path as a reflection of her life's "roller-coaster," with significant personal events like her brother's passing and a difficult marriage influencing distinct phases in her work.
Art curator Roobina Karode highlighted Chander's understanding of artistic possibilities, noting her shift from elongated torsos to incomplete figures. This demonstrates her ability to remain honest to herself, exploring infinite creative avenues across different mediums and styles without succumbing to trends.
