About the Artist
Nabanita Guha
Living between Assam and West Bengal, Nabanita Guha’s (b.1982) watercolour paintings imagine what one would see if the skin of the body was stripped away - muscle, veins, fat et al. Her works are not anatomical studies but rather constructed from her rumination on what it is “to be” as this physical being. The feminist struggle has been defined by the demand to be seen as more than flesh and gender. Guha presses that claim in her work drawing on the legacies of Francis Bacon, Jenny Saville, Nalini Malani and Mithu Sen. She compels us to think of the body not only in relation to its social or psychological aspects but also its biological being, with its needs, urges, desires, repulsions and ultimately its mortality.
