Marking Sakshi Gallery’s 40 th year, Unfolding Narratives: Perspectives in Contemporary Indian Art showcases works by six artists: Amit Ambalal, Manjunath Kamath, Ravinder Reddy, Rekha Rodwittiya, Shine Shivan and Surendran Nair, who have, over many decades, shaped and redefined the contours of Indian contemporary art. A number of works have been created especially for the exhibition, offering audiences an insight into the artists’ current directions and evolving practices.
Unfolding Narratives examines the evolving role of storytelling within contemporary artistic practice. Storytelling has been a cornerstone for Indian visual culture, from the past to the present. However, in the field of contemporary art, these stories are no longer a fixed inheritance.
