THE HINDU

Nagesh Goud's work in "Embedded Memories"

INDIA---The exhibition “Embedded Memories” at Crimson brings a slice of Indian heritage that seems to be buried deep in the memories of the Indian psyche through the works of artists Sujata Achrekar, Sukanta Das, Nagesh Goud, and Shravan Kumar. For Nagesh Goud, it is the great epic, the Mahabharata, snippets of which he captures in his “Puppet-Maker” series. He fills these figures with stories, scenes from the epic, such as the love story of Subhadra (Krishna’s sister) and Arjuna, Krishna’s favourite cousin, or the (in)famous disrobing or Draupadi, where Krishna plays a prominent role. He works with flat, metallic shades that lend a graphic, narrative element to his works, which are composed of both bold lines and intricate detailing. [link]
