The works done during the lockdown compel viewers to reflect and introspect
“My works are open to interpretation. Some viewers would probably see chaos in a painting that others find peaceful. It’s interesting to see diverse viewpoints,” says artist Anita Goel on leaving her canvases untitled. Her solo show at the Nehru Centre Art Gallery in Mumbai from November 16 to 22 displays abstract works from her Udaan series.
The London-born Mumbai-based Anita’s Udaan series began in 2009 as a commissioned work. The series of nine paintings captures the spirit of birds in flight signifying flying high, hope and freedom and served as inspirational wall art for the office staff. The series evokes feelings beyond symbolic representations. “It is not just about sending a message or anything; it conveys feelings and expressions,” adds the artist.
