Counter Gaze

Shruti Gupta Chandra’s latest show marks the launch of a new art gallery in New Delhi, Gallery Artspeaks India. In her latest work, Chandra tries to capture the contradictions of human existence in the chaotic, quickly-expanding urban landscapes that are now such an inevitable part of our lives. She relocates and heightens the alienation and frustrations of the post-modern city dweller through the immense scale of her work, and manages to introduce intricacies of politics and gender-play—all of which contribute to etching the condition of life in urban spaces. The exhibition begins at Galerie Romain Roland, and later moves to Gallery Artspeaks India.

Counter Gaze, 29 September to 6 October at Galerie Romain Roland, Alliance Française de Delhi, 72 Lodi Estate, New Delhi and 11 October to 31 October at Gallery Artspeaks India, 5 Kehar Singh Estate, Lane No 2, Westend Marg, Said-ul-ajaib, New Delhi.
