Isolation, Black Ship, Etc

01 December, 2010

The inspiration behind Kazi Nasir’s current body of work comes from 19th-century Russian writer Alexander Herzen’s short story—Who is to blame? Nasir, a Kolkata-based visual artist, presents his first solo exhibition in Delhi. With acrylic and watercolours on canvas, the artist intends to portray dystopia and a reality where society has been reduced to a repressed and controlled state. The artist uses various motifs including war planes, exhaust pipes, roses and thorns, distant blue horizons, etc. to represent an unclear and uncharted future.
