The show features dream-like representational images mixing fiction and reality. The exhibition, Phantasmagoria, brings together artists that problematise the concept of realism as well as reality, especially in an age which is a frenzy of simulations.
Taking from pop culture while blurring the boundaries between ‘high’ and ‘low’ art, these artists form bricolages of mental landscapes. ‘Parody’ and ‘Pastiche’ are blended together to form a post post-modern critique of consumerist aesthetics. The painterly surface becomes the door to the phantasmatic terrains to tap onto the hidden realities.
The exhibition, presented by leading gallerist Bhavna Kakar, Phantasmagoria brings together a careful selection of artworks by artists Dileep Sharma, Farhad Husain, George Martin and Pratul Dash.
