Art Musings presents ‘Gardens of Song’, a solo exhibition by Maya Burman, featuring artworks spanning the last 7 years of the artist’s practice. The artist will be present during the course of the 4-day Mumbai Gallery Weekend, where the gallery has planned several interactive sessions with the artist. Maya’s detailed paintings have a tapestry-like effect where everything is subordinate to floral, decorative patterning, reminiscent of the French art nouveau tradition. Her watercolours are peopled by figures, depicted in moments of play, expressive of an abundant joie de vivre, the spirit of play and creativity. Burman’s art draws on diverse genealogies, among them Degas’ ballerinas and the dancers of eastern India. This is consonant with Maya’s transcultural background: her mother is the French artist Maïté Delteil; her father is the Indian artist Sakti Burman.
