Sukanya Garg

Delhi and Mumbai-based artist, Sukanya Garg explores the human body's intricacies, particularly the perceptions that stem from the constant evolution of cell structures. Garg’s practice is inspired by her unprecedented journey across the world to understand pain and the diverse practices of healing. In the past few years, Garg developed an artistic language that explores life’s fragility and resilience whilst taking us on a simultaneous path into the body's interiority and the cosmos of the universe. Her practice explores the underlying layers of one’s being digging deep to unravel the mysteries of identity, perception, reality, and dreams. Understanding how the human perception of these revelations is influenced by an individual’s intrinsic attributes and his or her constantly changing external environment is what lies at the core of her work. For Garg, art is a medium of instilling hope in a turbulent time, such as the one we inhabit today. 

A graduate of Public Policy from Duke University, Garg’s practice was developed with the guidance of artist Shobha Broota. A trained economist who became an artist, writer, and a poet, Garg’s works were shown in the Lumbini World Peace Exhibition, Taragaon Museum, Kathmandu (2017), Annual All India Fine Arts Exhibition, Academy of Fine Arts, Kolkata (2018-19) Sign Here, Under the Mango Tree Art Space, Berlin (2018), Sign Here, Galera, Užupio Meno Inkubatorius, Vilnius, Lithuania (2018) among others. Her writings have appeared in several art magazines, journals, and as part of curatorial notes and catalogues. Formerly a writer for STIRworld Magazine, Garg currently curates exhibitions and art programs with The Art House at Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai.
