Reception: March 20, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Anju Dodiya
Bodhi Art
535 W 24th StBodhi Art is pleased to present All Night I Shall Gallop, a solo exhibition by Anju Dodiya. This suite of 25 unique mixed media works were created during a six month residency at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute, Singapore.
The artist has utilized the residency to produce works that push the definition of printmaking as a medium, integrating extant images and creating three-dimensionality with her use of mirrors, threads, and beads. Simultaneously, this process stretches her oeuvre as evident in the labyrinthine layers of meaning that co-exist in each of the works. Collecting and inventorying – two symbiotic actions always present in her oeuvre are further dramatized in this body of work.
A selection of phrases from Sylvia Plath’s Collected Poems provides the textual substratum for the works. Plath’s ability to articulate pain finds resonance with the artist, who constantly strives towards the perfect image that is never satisfactorily realized.
Anju Dodiya has exhibited widely; a few of her exhibitions include Throne of Frost, a site specific installation project, Baroda (2007); Bose Pacia, New York (2006); Vadehra Art Gallery, New Delhi (2005). She was part of New Narratives: Contemporary Art from India, Chicago (2007); Here and Now: Young Voices from India, Grosvenor Vadehra, London (2007); The Artist Lives and Works in Baroda/Bombay/ Calcutta/ Mysore/Rotterdam/Trivandrum, Galerie Mirchandani+Steinruecke, House of World Cultures, Berlin (2005).
The artist lives and works in Mumbai, India.
