In Today’s World
The exhibition is on at Alliance Francaise de Delhi till March 28.
In one of his most striking works, Hybrid Reality, Reji Arackal paints the human society as a production factory, using charcoal and soft pastels on paper. A single, shapeless mass is being cut, sawed, pulled, stretched and shaped to meet various needs of the society. “We live in a hybrid world where things no longer happen naturally. We all are physically and mentally tuned to the mechanical clock, and machines and have become small cogs in the big industrial unit,” explains the 39-year-old. Ten of his works make the exhibition “Living Outlines”. Organised in collaboration with The Raza Foundation, it is the second in the ‘Back from France’ series, wherein two solo exhibitions of Indian artists are held every year, of those who have lived in France for more than six months and are now continuing their practice in India.
