Vadehra Art Gallery is pleased to present ‘Dual Liquid’, an exhibition of recent sculptures and prints by Sumedh Rajendran. The exhibition will take place from the 25th of September till the 21st of October, 2010, at Vadehra Art Gallery, D-178 Okhla Phase 1, New Delhi 110020. This exhibition is in collaboration with Sakshi Gallery, Mumbai.

The exhibition offers a series of stimulating works that deal with the concomitant demarcations in domestic life patterns. They are a reflection of Rajendran’s belief that while we often see, we still fail to gauge the consequences that our fears and anxieties can have on our lives. The works make references to these changes, which propelled by fear, contribute to redrawing of existing socio-political vulnerabilities and even faiths. With this body of work, Rajendran attempts to explore these shifts in perceptions, beliefs, human behaviors and value systems that guide our life patterns.
