Palette Art Gallery in association with The Australian High Commission presented Dust, a solo exhibition of works by one of India’s leading contemporary artists, Gigi Scaria.
The artist drew inspiration from Australia’s vast, open landscapes. The exhibition explores the geographical diversity of India and reveals the powerful connections between the Australian and Indian continents.
Through a series of new video works, photographs and painting, the show presents stunning large-scale images of salt lakes and expanses of desert shot in Kutch and Jaisalmer.
Curated by Bala Starr, former senior curator at the Potter museum, the title Dust takes its inspiration from a city consumed by the desert. It forewarns of the cyclical relationship of humanity and nature, as well as the ebb and flow of creation and destruction over time.
