Tales, Tails & Tricky T Trails
by Bombay Art Gallery
Location: Bombay Art Gallery
Artist(s): RAWAT Tarun Jung
Date: 15 Sep - 13 Oct 2009

"I like to think of my work as a collection of illuminated windows. Windows that are revealed by slicing through the skin of our everyday world. Windows looking into another world. A world of strangely familiar creatures in a state of perpetual motion, frozen for an instant, for us to take a glimpse.
 
The characters may seem like beings from a fairy tale or from a children's fable, with tails and wings, fantastic and mythical, yet the narratives they live in are instances and moments from our everyday world. The works are like illuminated peepholes through which we get a glimpse of a collection of narratives - a collection of tales.
 
These tales present the simple notions of love, freedom, transformation and the co-existence of good and evil, enacted in a world seemingly different from ours, yet it is not really as different as we may think. A world of tales, tails and tricky trails. Trails that unravel themselves like a ball made up of many strings, each unravelled string a little trail into the tale.
 
A world of tales and tricky trails,
Revolving time, birds and tails,
Flapping wings in frozen flight,
Good and evil, dark and light."
