Event Description : Art Heritage Gallery presents a solo exhibition ‘Seeds’ by Kavita Nayar showcasing her etchings and Zinc Plates.
About Seeds : Before Kavita Nayar exhibits her show ‘SEEDS’ of etching and zinc plates at the Frank Museum of Art in Ohio, she premieres her show in Art Heritage Gallery drawing inspiration from her late daughter.
The work reflects how harmoniously symbiotic life is. A seed is buried in a womb and nourished by the mother through the umbilical cord. This cord is firmly bound to the fetus like the verdant stem holding the lotus up to bloom. The womb is the primordial place from where all thought and expression arise. In turn, the seed anchors the mother, helping her stretch and fly, make magical leaps of creativity and boundless journeys of strength. The umbilical cord is the bond between the fetus and the womb that forms the links in the embryonic chain of birth and rebirth. It embodies the ancient truths of Mother Nature- of life, dependence and freedom. These chains, links and their power are reflected in my work through the womb, the fetus and the lotus; the mother is present in the form of the artist, the narrator, me.
