策展人Deeksha Nath的陈述:
苏哈希尼•克里瓦尔(Suhasini Kejriwal)的布上油画和雕塑作品是对颜色的一种放纵,描述的是浓密植物的细节以及昆虫、鸟和小动物穿过树叶和花朵的各种偷窥方式,就像一个放大镜穿过迷人的森林的上空,看清那些常常看不见的事物。
苏哈希尼在纽约和伦敦接受过艺术熏陶,目前居住在加尔各答。她一方面对伊斯兰和印度艺术中历史上的修辞形式进行了在加工,另一方面再现了超现实主义空想家的隐晦的幻想感。经历了留学生在国外学习和生活,苏哈希尼愈加想回到自己的家乡加尔各答去寻找自己的灵感(尤其是当地的工艺)。她曾与当地的刺绣工一起工作,将她的一部分绘画作品复制到复杂的刺绣品上,然后依次将刺绣品添加到她自己的绘画当中。各种不同的纹理是她的作品中的一个决定性方面。
Curatorial statement by Deeksha Nath
Suhasini Kejriwal’s canvases and sculptures are a riot of colour depicting details of dense foliage and all manners of insects, birds and small animals peep through the leaves and flowers, as if a magnifying glass is passed over a luscious forest highlighting that which is often overlooked.
Trained in New York and London and living in Kolkata, Suhasini reworks the art historical tropes of patterning that lies underneath the decorative canons of Islamic and Indian art on the one hand and on the other recreates the sense of dark fantasies of surrealist visionaries. Through the experience of being a foreign student, Suhasini increasingly turned back to her home city of Kolkata for inspiration (especially the local crafts). She has worked with local embroiderers to replicate parts of her paintings in intricate embroidery, which in turn she interpolates within her own drawings. Variant textures are a defining aspect of her work.
