the work, words & shows of
Mithila Malaviya
“…my short-tempered friend saw red as the brightest…”
“…my depressed aunt saw blue…”
“…while I saw and painted yellow first.”
“Black for me in this piece was for mere outlining and I used it unknowingly!”
“Everyone sees a different prominent colour in the first look.”
“This faceless woman reads you before you know it. The prominent colour depicts peoples current state of mind. It may change during the day or over months.”
The image we build to be liked, and what it costs us.
A series about self-image, identity and emotional confrontation in the life that comes after separation. Shown solo at Katha Café Gallery, Hyderabad, then at Hearth Summit and Bangalore Creative Circus, where it is on view now.
Can an artist make anything utterly independent of who they are? Maybe you can; I can not.
