The Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Mumbai City Museum, in association with Anupa Mehta Contemporary Art, presents All those who touched my life, artist Alamu Kumaresan’s first solo exhibition.
This show brings together figurative works and self-portraits that draw upon deeply felt personal narratives that inform the artist’s practice. Alamu’s art can be read as a tribute to those who have touched her life. She transforms the quotidian into the remarkable in her works. The everyday is presented as heroic and made special by the artist’s rich appliqués and tapestries crafted out of a variety of materials. There is a timelessness in her narratives, elevating the work to a universal register in its honoring of ordinary persons.
