With Regard to Myths

Sai Pradhan’s new paintings take the form of organic figurative work layered upon stained, raw fabric. Large in scale, they are displayed unframed and hung in tapestry form. In this solo show, Sai thinks about how we anchor ourselves to symbols and patterns, how they might turn into scaffolds that we layer meaning and identity upon, and how myths emerge and elevate the everyday to the sacrosanct. A dog, a gecko, and depictions of eggs recur as motifs, often situated within a landscape of architectural, design, and natural flourishes.
