Anju Dodiya, a notable Indian artist active since the early 1990s and a participant in the most recent Venice Biennale, showcased her inaugural solo exhibition in France at Galerie Daniel Templon in Paris from September 4 to October 9, 2010.

Significant pieces included 'Face-off', 'Entangled', 'Surge', 'Quarrel Duet', 'Eclipse', 'Wind Up', 'Steps', and 'Paper Storm'.
