A new show, Bariwali: Lady Who Owns the Land, looks at the relationship between women and the domestic spaces they inhabit. On view at Method Kala Ghoda, this series of works by Debosmita Samanta explores this idea through an interplay of daily rituals, chores, roles assigned to women by society, and more. Is this relationship—bound by rituals—one of confinement or of a rhythmic and comforting sameness? That is the question the artist looks at. Their confinement extends beyond the physical, as they are mentally limited to certain spaces. At Method Kala Ghoda, Mumbai, 9 November-15 December, 11am-7pm (closed on Monday).
South Korean artist Kim Seola’s paintings appear to be depictions of strands of thought. Seola visualises her memories as unicellular organisms. Some of her latest paintings can be seen in a forthcoming show, The Place Where the Myth Dwells, which will open on Art Night Tuesday organised by the Mumbai Gallery Association. “I recall the experience of observing my hometown get demolished over time... I was raised in an environment to read poetry with ease and comfort … so as a painter, the poetic image gets fleshed from human existence to evoke experiences…,” states the artist note. At Sakshi Gallery, Mumbai, 12 November-7 December, 11am-6pm (closed on Sunday and Monday).
