Pallavi Singh's Solo Exhibition 'The Familiar' Opens at Sakshi Gallery
Sakshi Gallery is showcasing 'The Familiar,' a solo exhibition featuring the artwork of Pallavi Singh, her inaugural solo presentation with the gallery. This exhibition delves into the relationship between images, objects, and concepts of gender and identity. Singh highlights subtle details that often go unnoticed, illustrating how gender associations can influence our perception of images. The foundation for these pieces originated during her time at the Jan van Eyck Academie, where she investigated the links between language and gender. Singh's work emphasizes how everyday items are gendered through language, with these associations varying across different cultures. This exploration is reflected in her paintings, where common objects and actions serve to analyze the construction and interpretation of masculinity and femininity. The exhibition is currently open at Sakshi Gallery.
