Watch: With New York show underway, artist Anjolie Ela Menon looks back on her long career
The artist was interviewed by C Uday Bhaskar.
Earlier this month, an exhibition of 25 paintings by Anjolie Ela Menon opened at New York’s Aicon Gallery.
“By the River” is the 81-year-old Padmashree-award winner’s fifth show in the city.
Menon has created several paintings during the pandemic. “Her earliest works were in thick impasto but she developed a unique technique, where she layers thin glazes of translucent oil pigment on a hard surface such as masonite, achieving a Byzantine-like sheen,” writes C Uday Bhaskar, who has had a long engagement with the artist’s work work.
In this interviews with Bhaskar, she talks about her latest exhibition and more.
