Private Learning Space, India Art Fair Grounds

Artist Chetnaa experiments with straight lines and simple geometric shapes, sharing imaginative techniques to create compositions and constructions using just paper, pen and scale.

Chetnaa completed her Master’s degree in Painting from the College of Art in New Delhi. Her geometric abstractions are drawn largely from the landscape and architectures of her city, keen observations of the metropolis translated into an eloquent schematic of lines and markers. Initiated as symmetrical arrangements, Chetnaa’s work reveals the need to deconstruct the order she had once sought, so as to build a new geometrical logic that feeds her minimalist aesthetic. She was recently a part of the first Indian Ceramics Trienale, collaborative project at JKK, Jaipur, 2018. Her recent shows include Of Paper at Gallery Art Motif (New Delhi), Condition Reports curated by Ranjit Hoskote at Art District XIII (New Delhi) and Everything is Black & White at Palette Art Gallery (New Delhi) to name a few.
