New York-based artist Talha Rathore’s first solo show, Sowing Seeds, at Chawkandi Art Gallery in 2011 garnered acclaim for introducing a different type of subject matter into the realm of miniature painting: ‘the irksome feeling of being observed’. Three years later, in her second show, Celebrating Life, these ‘seeds’ or unicellular organisms formed the underpinning of Rathore’s works furthered in vitality. This year, Rathore’s oeuvre takes an ominous turn — Indispositions brings back her signature motifs; however, they are soiled and distressed. In this latest solo exhibition at Chawkandi Art Gallery, Rathore observes faith through contemplative paintings that depict bad bacteria vehemently invading our personal and collective space.
