Nature Mortes corridor is sure to remind viewers of palm trees and picturesque coastal landscapes. It comes from Mrinalini Mukherjees large golden glittering bronze sculptures at her latest exhibition Palm Scapes.
The Delhi-based artists preoccupation with bronze over the last 10 years shows up in this collection,which is based on my personal response to the palm trees. I got interested in them suddenly and it was purely accidental, says the 64-year-old artist.
Among the 10 works on display,one titled Palm Scape VIII,comprises thick barks of palm trees,while another work,Palm Scapes V,appears like fossilised remains of palm trees dug out from swamps. Mukherjees sculptures are first shaped in wax,which is later painted in molten bronze. Her works hover between recognisable vegetal entities and abstract silhouettes.
The exhibition is on display at
