About the Exibition
Paper Mache is an exhibition curated by Priyasri Patodia dedicated to works on paper by both eminent and emerging artists. Highlighting the evolving role of paper in the 20th century, the show reflects how this once a secondary medium gained prestige, with many artists creating drawings as finished works in their own right.
Working on paper presents unique challenges due to its delicate surface unlike canvas, any mark made is largely irreversible, requiring artists to either embrace or adapt to their mistakes. This vulnerability makes paper a bold choice, especially for painters, sculptors, and printmakers who have stepped beyond their usual mediums to explore its expressive potential.
In a time of economic caution, the exhibition focuses on affordability without compromising on quality, aiming to make contemporary art more accessible to collectors and enthusiasts alike.
