Anjolie Ela Menon: Nostalgia 2022, D-40 Defence Colony, New Delhi
Menon’s exhibition Nostalgia is centered around a triptych celebrating the Divine Mothers – Parvati, Mariam and Yashoda. The artist is intrigued by the aesthetics of mythology and creates a unique visual language in her portrayal of these protagonists, as she drapes the goddesses with free-flowing hair and contemporary garments, making a departure from conventional iconography. She captures the nuances and magic of motherhood in her complex rendering of intimacy and transcendence, showing Yashoda with Krishna, Mariam holding infant Jesus, and Parvati with Ganesh – exploring the powerful and personal storytelling quality of myth.
