Gallerie Nvya presents, The Feminine Construct, an exhibition by two renowned artists , G. Ravinder Reddy & Thota Vaikuntam, who examine, through their male gaze, the multifaceted notions of social and familial representations of a traditional Indian woman in contemporary society through her feminine appearance.
Our intent is to present an exhibition that allows a juxtaposition of works to showcase an ongoing conversation between two artists with similar education, who hail from the same region off the Eastern Ghats, from a state divided into Andhra Pradesh and Telangana just a decade ago. And yet, their artistic practices provide a living archive of more than 40 years marking unique characteristics of prevalent cultures of the region, through the use of women as bearers of visual and material culture.
