Event Description : "Battarahalli Corner and Left" an art show by Sheela Gowda


“Sheela Gowda’s artistic practice is founded on a departure from the pictorial codes of representation into the field of materiality and space, as more nuanced and vibrant means of understanding the world. Gowda is interested in the power that objects and forms carry in capturing aspects of reality, with its social and cultural narratives, that are otherwise unseen by and unspeakable through other languages of representation and analysis. Materials for Gowda can be at the same time complex metaphors and ends in themselves, forgetful of their many cultural and spiritual investments attributed by human practice, but charged with a potential spiritual tension of their own, serving as relics of worlds unraveled and building blocks for other, new ones.”

“While strongly routed in the realities surrounding her in contemporary India (religious politics and violence, social exclusion and rebellion, rapid industrialization and urbanization), Gowda’s work carries universal meanings and relevancy. It employs international codes of art history, forms produced and validated in a Western cannon of modernism, the avant-garde, and later practices, as well as vernacular languages of the contemporary. Gowda does not illustrate these worlds, and she does not repeat or translate artistically their narratives. She however creates moments of encounter and tension where understanding and profound engagement are possible.” Cosmin Costinas, 2015. Executive Director/Curator, Para Site, Hong Kong.
