Sheetal Gattani: 46 Pillars
Chemould Prescott Road re-envisioned itself into an open studio as artist Sheetal Gattani created her site-specific art installation titled 46 Pillars over the last three months. The gallery walls will also house her new body of drawings, White Grass, where white paper and charcoal found their way as layers upon layers were unpeeled to give these works their unique materiality.
Bombay has eclectically been muse to artists for decades. Yet again, it hands its reins of stirring visual imagery to Gattani, who employs it as a metaphor for the ordinary day-to-day life. Be it a cutting chai cocooned in its wire frame, a fiber-optic lit seashore skyline, which meets a scribbled spiral-bound notebook and a ticking clock. For 3 months, Gattani has summarized and re-imagined city facets into 46 pillars and 20 vantage points.
She ironically lugs fettered aspects of the city outside, to the spaces within the gallery, allowing a new lease of appreciation for them. What ensues is a transformative experience of seeing ambiguous familiarity turn into sublime rediscovery.
