Debanjan Roy "Experiments with Truth"
Aicon Gallery
This event has ended.
This exhibition features recent work by Roy, who uses iconic Indian figures such as Mahatma Gandhi as metaphor for the austerity of India's recent past yet casts these figures amongst the technological trappings and social challenges of contemporary India. While such notions might seem to clash, Roy's figures embrace their new realities with the progressive open-mindedness, suggesting that the ideals of the past need not be discarded in our struggle to define the present.
