Karin Weber Gallery is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition of Phaneedra Nath Chaturvedi in Hong Kong.  Phaneedra is an emerging artist currently at the forefront of contemporary art in India.  His large format multi-panel works feature skeletal figures with nuts and bolts which unforgivingly reveal the grotesque and dispassionate aspects of human being.  The images may be stark but they nevertheless provoke viewers into re-thinking how comfortable we  humans are being surrounded by superficial beauty and insincerity in contemporary society.

There will be a premiere of a documentary film made by the renowned Indian art critic and curator Mr. Vinod Bharadwaj about the artist at the opening night.
