August 21-September 13, 2025 11:00 am

Vadehra Art Gallery, D-53, DEFENCE COLONY, NEW DELHI

Vadehra Art Gallery presents Tom Vattakuzhy’s Solo: The Shadows of absence. A show where his paintings are about the place and people among whom he lives. In a majority of them he explores the community’s inner life through images that capture the interpersonal relationships within an archetypal family consisting of a woman, a man, children and sometimes an older man. It is an intimate portrait of their inner life. Like many parts of Kerala, once an agrarian community, they are now part of a remittance economy. Tom’s paintings look into the emotional scars this leaves on families, especially on women.
