Gallery Espace, New Delhi presents “Ether is all that is” by G. R. Iranna from January 22 through March 8, 2017.The artist’s current suite of works consists of canvases, works on paper and installations. After receiving an overwhelming response at the Kochi Muziris Biennale, this year with his work titled “Ash to Ash,” Iranna is all set to enthrall the audience in the capital with a body of work which is an extension of the same theme and process.G. R. Iranna, one of India’s eminent contemporary artists, uses the holy ash or “vibhuti," as a primary medium in this series of work, which is further referred to as a metaphor for the impermanence of life. Birth and death, thereby, exist together, as one. We rise from the dust and we go back to ash. What remains is an infinite nothingness. The ash is spiritually believed to ward off negative energies and the artist through his work makes an attempt to put forward the union of these energies and the circularity of flow between them.The exhibition will be on view at Gallery Espace, 16 Community Centre, New Friends Colony, New Delhi- 110025.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek of the exhibition.
