The Wonder Journal
Vadodara-based artist Utkarsh Makwana’s works navigate through the tropes of philosophy as well as comedy and touch upon the wonder one derives from the mundane. Alluding to historical and mythological references, his visual interpretations are arresting, owing to his choice of colours and well-thoughtout compositions. A constant feature in his works are varied geometrical patterns which stem out like a maze, knitting his imageries together. There are references obtained from patterns like the Sacred Geometry, the Fibonacci sequence and many other shapes. With this body of work, Makwana invites the viewer to write their own narratives in his personal wonder journal.

Kaleidoscopic Play and Quiet Wisdom
If photography is, literally, the act of ‘writing with light’, photographer Sheetal Mallar shows us how it can also be the act of writing with shadow and darkness, penumbra and eclipse. Mallar’s protagonists — her human subjects as much as the environments she so memorably records — occupy a precarious threshold between the powers of vitality and the forces of extinction. Beneath these outward and visible subjects — ephemeral spaces and evanescent trades, aftermaths and afterlives — Mallar’s constant theme is transience. Encountering her protagonists, we recognise them, as well as ourselves, to be transients: creatures of passage afforded a brief leasehold by the cycle of time.

Exhibition Fields of Eros and Enchantment
An ongoing exhibition of artist Bhagyashree Suthar’s works reflects her fascination with architecture and geometry, and are a play of the fantastical and the familiar. Suthar gathers images and objects from everyday life, and is familiar with the histories and contexts of drawing up futures. She is also invested in the use of mathematical constructions and abstractions towards mapping these languages of the future world. From the Fibonacci series and Fractals, Parametricism and Visionary Futures of Archigram to the drawings and models of Lebbeus Woods or the architectures of Zaha Hadid and Frank Gehry — they all build a library of this investigation for Suthar. She brings into her work a whole history of humankind’s interest in shaping worlds of perfection — places of balance and cosmic as well as earthly magnificence and sublimity — utopia — something that never exists, a never-place!
