For Rithika Pandey’s first solo show in India she brings us nine tableaus: paintings in pursuit of healing and transformation.

After experiencing the death of two loved ones in 2021, Pandey embarked on an artistic inquiry – How do we heal? How do we love those who are no longer with us? How do we repair intergenerational trauma? Big questions. There is tension between Pandey’s modes of inquiry. She sees the employment of ancient and mythological modes of deduction as commensurate with that of the futuristic and scientific. The result is generative and unexpected.
