A Bend in the River

LATITUDE 28 presents a solo exhibition of artist Pratul Dash titled “A Bend in the River” that draws viewers to engage with an alternate view of reality. This kaleidoscopic panoply of artworks is on showcase from September 28 to October 7, 2023 at Bikaner House.

One of the most profound contemporary art voices in India, Pratul has been preoccupied with the fear and fantasies that accelerate contemporary life, constantly changing in unwarranted ways. His reflections on everyday, mundane, abstract and philosophical observations are reflected poignantly in this exhibition that features abstract artworks, drawing viewers into a world that is open to interpretation.

“My art is intricately woven into India’s vibrant fabric, where human stories, cultural threads, and political landscapes come together. In a world where borders blur and global influences are strong, my creative expressions tell a story of how local and universal ideas dance together. While I am not swayed by external pressures, my creations are a lively conversation between my own context and the global viewpoint, showcasing the delicate balance of our times,” says Pratul Dash.
