About the Item

This set of drawings has been like a Covid-19 diary of one woman and her domestic realm. Simone de Beauvoir, the century's most iconic feminist scholar, called the burden of women's housework a "Sisyphean torture." In her book The Second Sex, she says, "Few tasks are more like the torture of Sisyphus than housework, with its endless repetition: clean becomes dirty, dirty is cleaned, again and again, day after day. The housewife wears herself out marking time: she does nothing, she simply perpetuates the present... Eating, sleeping, cleaning: the years no longer soar skyward, they stretch out ahead, gray and identical. The battle against dust and grime is never won." This sort of sums up the inspiration behind these artworks. So there are vegetables, fruits, and flowers, etc., playful battles with the cleaning series, the tragedy of the death of the pigeon in her studio, etc. Each one is a true story. Much of Megha Joshi's artistic practice focuses on gender, ritual and religion, although her uniqueness lies in her ability to express herself on a variety of subjects, in a variety of media. She has worked with conventional materials such as steel, fabric, bronze, rubber and, most interestingly, everyday objects and materials used in Hindu ritualism. His works are strong but experimental, as he does not believe in the forced homogeneity of artworks. From the covid diaries series Watercolour on paper mix media

"Untitled, " Oil on Paper - Figurative Drawing

By Amita Bhatt

Located in Houston, TX

This painting on paper is a playful, yet elegant depiction of a personal mantra of Bhatt’s in which she concedes, “life is a circus.” Amita Bhatt received her BFA from the Maharaja Sayajirao University, Vadodara, India and her MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, Maryland. Bhatt’s work has been exhibited at noteworthy venues such as the Bluestar Contemporary Art Center, Walters Art Museum, The Station Museum of Contemporary Art, and The Project Row Houses, all in the United States as well as Museo Pedro de Osma in Peru. She has also been the recipient of several prestigious awards and recently served as a Grant Panelist on the National Endowment for the Arts. Her works are included in many important private and public collections. Bhatt digs deep into world philosophies and mythologies to answer questions pertaining to our political as well as personal belief systems. Unafraid to explore uncomfortable territories, the artist mines from a range of sources to create hybrid creatures that are often symbolic of man’s psychological condition in an angst-ridden zeitgeist.
