    From India to Venice
    A Selection of Works by Indian Artists from an Esteemed European Collection


    The following selection of works by artists living and working in India are linked by a mutual theme of exploration into the changing environment in which they are created and the influence of both Eastern and Western culture. Housed in an esteemed European collection, this year Atul Dodiya's and Shilpa Gupta's work has been selected to represent India at the country's second ever appearance on the Western stage of the Venice Biennale.

    Alluding to a multitude of cultural references from both East and West throughout her oeuvre, and clearly evident in Time and Warriors & Green Worm, Nalini Malani refers to both Greek and Indian ancient mythology amalgamated with contemporary symbols and imagery. This exploration culminates in works that strongly condemn contemporary violence and injustice. Malani’s work is currently on view in the Sharjah Biennial, United Arab Emirates, and it was the subject of a retrospective at the Castello di Rivoli in Turin, Italy, earlier this year. She has been announced as the winner of the Joan Miró Prize 2019 with a solo show set to open at the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona in 2020.
