A Room for Refuge
Anupama Alias Anil
Hardbound
Publisher: Kalakriti
In this solo exhibition, Anupama Alias Anil often embraces a deliberate edge of uncertainty in her paintings that folds reality into the sleepwalk of memory. In her explorations of watercolour, in Witness Embers (2025), the subject—mostly her self—pools into view with a gossamer-light touch, against a morphed flora and fauna, adding a sense of travelling through thoughts, as moving across an open terrain where nothing stays fixed on the surface. On perusal, the figure, the tree, the branch, and the grass all take on different tenors, guiding you toward a sense of ground.
