Recent Paintings
Opening: Friday 1 September, 6-8pm
From 1-16 September, AirSpace Projects will be presenting new paintings by Vinita Sharma as well as examples of her copy work. On exhibition will be abstractions of Indian miniature paintings, motifs and symbols that have crossed her studio floor. While often making references to traditional subjects and employing traditional pigments, papers and techniques, Vinita Sharma experiments with contemporary configurations and methods such as silhouetting and unconventional uses of patterning.
