Description

Kanishka Raja's ravishingly patterned work, as the artist put it, "explores the intersection of representation craft, technology, and the gaps that occur in the transmission of information."

Conceptually heady and aesthetically alluring, Raja's I and I series combines painting with woven, scanned, printed, embroidered, and reproduced counterparts. An artist's practice rooted in New York and Kolkata, combining hybrid influences and strategies of variation, repetition, reversal, and mirroring.
