TARQ presents Pillars of Fruit and Bone, a solo exhibition of latest works by Rithika Merchant.
Building on the work from her Terraformation series, shown at the Eleventh Asia Pacific Triennial, the fifteen paintings in this show explore ideas of building a sustainable utopia, away from the Earth. Merchant uses “beings” or characters that are posed as proxies of humans to connect with the concept of abiogenesis—life emerging from non-living matter billions of years ago.
