On the occasion of the 100th birth anniversary of artist Meera Mukherjee, Akar Prakar presents Meera Mukherjee: Life in all Things to celebrate her life and works.
Meera is unravelled as “the woman behind the metal”, as a woman of flesh and blood. In the initial years of trial and toil, she started turning each pebble to a new path and no trouble seemed enough for her at one time. This exhibition is dedicated to remembering Meera and her genius, her commitment to her art, through the various mediums that she used during her journey as an artist, from wooden dolls to ceramic tiles, plaster of Paris to carvings on marble and terracotta works both large and intimate, drawings and paintings and finally her sculptures in Bronze which defined her artistic practice and which she created despite financial constraints.
