Binoy Varghese "Refugees / Their Own Lands"
Aicon Gallery
This event has ended.
Varghese's colorful and picturesque canvases, mostly in large format are informed by the politics of his native Kerala. Migration and displacement, the clash between rural and urban cultures, violence, and gender discrimination in society are some of the underlying concerns that engage his attention. The artist picks his imagery from the tacit world of myriad experiences, while his portraiture with green foliage or blooming flowers revolves around photo-realistic renditions that stand out for his choice of colors, material and matter. His protagonists - Asian women and children- appear in their newfound worlds against a background of a made-up environment of thick flora and fauna that engulfs and overpowers them.
