Event Details : Gallery Espace presents ‘LAVA’, a solo exhibition of 30 bronze sculptures in small, medium and large scale size by veteran sculptor Mrinalini Mukherjee. 
Says Renu Modi (Director, Gallery Espace): “Mrinalini Mukherjee’s work relate inevitably to her Indian origins and experiences, the affinities with the wonderful craft practices of our country.”
French writer Henry-Claude Cousseau says: “Inspired by nature, the sculptor has intricately worked with materials like wax, rope, clay and metal. Through the procedure of weaving, firing and casting; she has formed spirals, loops and hollows which give the sculptures a voluptuous curve.”
“My anthropomorphic deities owe much to the equation with awe and reverence that a traditional invocatory deity inspires in her spectator. But, my mythology is de-conventionalized as are my methods and materials,” says Mrinalini Mukherjee.
Born in 1949, Mumbai, Mrinalini Mukherjee is the daughter of renowned artists Benode Behari and Leela Mukherjee. She studied Painting at the Faculty of Fine Art, M.S. University, Baroda (1965-1970), and then studied mural design under artists like K.G. Subramanyan, receiving a Post-Diploma in the field in 1970. She lives and works in New Delhi.
