Artworks displayed at the exhibition

DREAMS OFTEN ARRIVE disguised; part memory, part imagination.

It is this delicate play between the real and the surreal that S Nataraj brings to the fore in his ongoing exhibition In Fields of Return - Tales from the Midnight Summer. The works displayed feel like waking dreams—familiar, yet altered just enough to make us pause and look again.

Nataraj's practice spans nearly two decades, beginning after his Masters at Chitrakala Parishad, Bengaluru, in 2006. From crowds and communities in his early works to solitary figures in communion with nature, his art has shifted inwards.
