MEMORY TRACE / DAPAAN (…it is said)

“MEMORY TRACE / DAPAAN*(…it is said) by artist Ankush Safaya is a show that blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination, taking viewers on a captivating journey. Having observed Ankush’s work for over the years, I am glad that we are finally showcasing his practice in this new exhibition. Ankush’s art serves as a catalyst, triggering memories and creating immersive spaces of remembrance. Drawing from personal experiences, literature, and music, the artist weaves a tapestry of connections, deconstructing and reimagining the past while exploring the intricacies of life. Safaya’s works exude a serene stillness, yet upon closer examination, they pulsate with kinetic energy, conveying poignant messages of human experience. With his unique blend of engineering and artistic vision, Ankush reconstructs structures and mechanisms, giving birth to new forms characterised by balance and rhythm. This exhibition, MEMORY TRACE / DAPAAN*(…it is said), is a testament to Safaya’s mastery of transforming thought into expressive art, inviting viewers to embark on their own introspective journey of memories and connections.”
