Medha Kapur of Saffronart shares a note on Ranjani Shettar’s first solo museum exhibition in India.
Her sculptural installations are beautiful, poetic and have charmed critics and collectors all over the world. These large installations draw inspiration from natural forms and materials recalling the surreal beauty of magical creatures and sensuous landscapes. Shettar roots her practice using local materials like fishing lines, muslin, tamarind kernel powder paste and wooden beads handmade by toy craftsmen from South India.
