Event Description : EXHIBITION : Sculpture show by Sumita Chandani Rekhi. 

On Art : Art for me is as natural as it is to breathe and as individual as our finger prints. It is a desire to express whatever it is we wish to, in a creative and artistic manner, with an intention to please the senses or at least to rattle and unnerve them.
If it jolts, its art, if it unnerves or repulses or entices one to think, yes, that’s also art. 
I work with a multiple of  mediums since I am at the experimental stage of my journey yet to find myself, yet I search ,yet I explore  and share my thoughts and creativity with you through various sculptures and mediums. 
I sculpt what I am and that leads me to the question what or who am I. Essentially, I would say I am not a clearly defined label, but an amalgam of changing  experiences, moods ,vicissitudes and times 
– of course my thoughts have an indelible influence on my works. My passionate loves for the truth lead me to sculpt the works on Gandhi. 
In my sculptures you will see a wide plethora of subjects and mediums from the divine to the sensuous, from philosophical to quirky, from contemporary and serene to minimalistic and even outrageous. It is all there because quite simply, it is all me. 
Allow me to take you through my works where my hands move to create, sometimes as an extension of a sketch or a thought, which often gets distorted and changed completely as the work proceeds or you can see me simply staring at a lump of clay and trying to figure out what it has to say to me. Once the thought is clearly cast the work swiftly heads towards completion. This was how the work titled "divinity" was envisioned.
