Curator Georgina Maddox remarked, “’Unwritten Letters’ offers an engaging artistic dialogue between two deeply personal yet distinct practices. This exhibition shines a spotlight on the rich tapestry of both artists’ journeys while subtly reflecting their intertwined cultural narratives.”
Anu Bajaj, CEO of Gallery Art Positive, says: “It’s a privilege to bring together such unique artistic voices. Both Ganesh and Santana Gohain have created pieces that resonate deeply with viewers, and we are proud to showcase their latest engagements with light, time, and personal narratives.”
Artist Ganesh Gohain: Known for exploring “Time & Light”, Ganesh’s work navigates between the tangible and intangible. “The way I create my work, it becomes a psychological gesture, an engagement with a variety of façades,” shares Ganesh. His multi-faceted practice includes painting, sculpture, installations, and photography. His pieces invite interaction, with their dimensions shifting based on the viewer’s perspective. Ganesh’s work has been globally recognized. He was invited as an Artist in Residence at the Glasgow School of Art and has received accolades such as the Charles Wallace Fellowship Award and the French Government Scholarship. His passion for understanding space and time is ever-present in his work. As Ganesh explains, “Light plays an important role in my work… it shows my experiences and my journey through my works.”
Artist Santana Gohain: Santana’s work focuses on the process of “Mark-Making”, using media such as acrylic, pastel, pigment, and graphite. Her exploration of surface text and three-dimensionality pushes the boundaries of traditional artistic forms. Santana says about her unique style, “I create a mark-making process that is of great importance to me to create the image.” Her works are inspired by nature, travel, and her personal experiences. She notes, “An image source in my works is from my surroundings… it takes me a while to cull out my experiences from various activities and involvements.” Her work is deeply personal, reflecting her relationship with language, text, and the marks that symbolize communication throughout human history. When discussing the dual nature of her work, she explains, “I have been working on various surfaces and illusions for years, sometimes my works are highly realistic and at the same time works are abstract, my works are objects. It depends on the viewers.”
