Artist Tara Sabharwal’s recent non-figurative work marks a return to open awareness, coupled with an ephemeral uncertainty, that she sometimes felt even as a child…
Having received wide acclaim in the west, artist Tara’s work finds pride of place in the collection of the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the DLI Museum in the UK, the Peabody Essex Museum, New York Public Library and the Library of Congress in the USA, among others. In her latest work, Tara sets her brush free, and through a process of spontaneous mark making, observes her thoughts until her mind begins to shut down. As she paints, a moving world of colours and shapes emerge and dissolve at an open window, transcribing the unseen and the unknown within. In a 36-year career period, Tara has exhibited her works in India multiple times. In 2017, she exhibited her works in Delhi after a gap of five years.
On this occasion, we try to gauge her state of mind. To which, she reacts, “I feel excited. Showing in India is deeply meaningful for me. Showing one’s work and tracing its developments, changes and deviations are important for an artist’s growth. One is always evaluating one’s work and context, ie, what one is trying to show and how it comes across.”
