Event Details : 'Moving Worlds: Tales of Adaptation and Resistance' an exhibition of paintings by Maneesha Doshi.
In her forthcoming exhibition, Maneesha Doshi presents us with a series of watercolours and acrylics on canvas which, through process of visual association, compose a proliferating narrative around urbanism, construction and the manufactured "sub-conscious", the fabrication of worlds, and the possibility of embodiment and transformation. The exhibition illustrates the relationship between the urban and natural environments, proposing new ways forward that acknowledge the necessity of human habitats and the fragile state of our ecosystems.
As such, the exhibition deals with a range of topics including the relations between nature and culture; the concept of entropy; the effects of human action on the environment; the manipulation, destruction and mutation of the environment; and the increasingly rapid transformation of urban landscapes in a global era. In order to do so, Maneesha paints journeys across landscapes of desire, invested with affect. She paints dreamscapes, artificial paradises and exoticism
Through her works, Maneesha addresses the notion of movement, mirroring the instability that characterises the present time. She considers our acceptance of urban development over nature as leading towards a new form of universalism. She demonstrates how our built environments can be vehicles of discovery capable of producing imaginary worlds and artificial journeys while simultaneously questioning the notion of identity and inner journeys.
