Bloody Dark Body: Mahalakshmi Kannappan

October 4-November 30, 2025

Srishti Art, Gayatri Hills, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, India

Srishti Art presents Bloody Dark Body, a solo exhibition by Mahalakshmi Kannappan. Mahalakshmi Kannappan’s practice unfolds in layers at once; sculptural, abstract, and deeply process-oriented. Originally from Tamil Nadu and now based in Singapore, she creates works grounded in the materiality of graphite and wood, evoking the delicacy of torn or assembled paper. What first appeared as fragile sheets reveal themselves as sculpted wooden surfaces coated with graphite paste. This transformation of matter is at the heart of her sculptures.
