Art Musings presents a rare treat for art lovers in the city of Mumbai, with their next exhibition Transfigurations, featuring bas relief sculptures in brass by eminent Indian master Sakti Burman. The exhibition opens on 10 October ’24, with a preview where the artist will be present.
Translated or rather transfigured from one medium to another, Sakti Burman’s images breathe a new air, seek our attention afresh. Importantly, these sculptures take the precise form of the fragment, the detail from a larger or lost whole that speaks allusively of that whole. Burman’s sculptural fragments, although complete in themselves, speak to us of the far longer choreography that is his life, his visceral connection to two civilisations and continents, his singular and courageous devotion to the artist’s vocation, which survives all challenges and cataclysms.”
