The exhibition "Long Short Stories" by multidisciplinary artist Waswo X. Waswo is currently on display at Latitude 28 in Delhi's Defence Colony. Waswo, an American artist who has called Udaipur home for over two decades, has created an ambitious showcase of his work.
This exhibition uniquely combines photography with Rajasthani miniature painting, video, and sculpture, offering an immersive experience. Visitors are guided through the show as if it were a book, appreciating the theatricality in Waswo's hand-painted digital prints, often embellished with gold leaf.
Collaborating with traditional Rajasthani miniaturists, Waswo highlights the contributions of artists like Dalpat Jingar and Chirag Kumawat. A central figure in this exhibition is 'The Dandy,' a character embodying an outsider's viewpoint, exploring themes of identity, observation, and belonging with a blend of humor and vulnerability.
