Whispering Lanes

In his third solo, Debasish Mukherjee will pay an artistic tribute to the city Benaras, of the past and the present through the medium of sculptural installations, paintings, and textile-based works employing a purposefully limited colour palette.

The concept of spaces is often defined by the lines and limitations placed in a three-dimensional area, but what these primary geometrical definitions neglect to take into consideration is our inhabitation of these spaces. The weight of our experiences and memories within the walls of one’s home or the street crossed too often are woven into the fabric of the place.

In his latest work, artist Debasish Mukherjee makes use of these limitations, the elemental aspects of the spaces, the line, the architecture and the everyday objects to create visual metaphors in an effort to uncover the dormant stories of his past.

Having spent years of his childhood at his maternal grandmother’s house in Benares and then again as a student of painting at the Banaras Hindu University, he spent some of the most formative years of his life in the city

A remembrance of the days gone by and the reality of its present, the essence of the city forms the premise of the suite of works displayed in this exhibition.

When: 11am to 7pm; Till March 17, 2023
Where: Akar Prakar, D-43, 1st Floor, Defence Colony, New Delhi
