Taking the line for a walk

Abstract artist Sheila Makhijani asks viewers to make sense of her lines, brimming with a life of their own.

New York city’s skyline or Mumbai’s showstopping Marine Drive, like a slew of high-rises, glittering like stars at night, is the first thought when the spotlight falls on artist Sheila Makhijani’s sculptural installation Just In Just Out. In vivid, peppy colours of pink, blue and yellow, they take centre stage in a room at Talwar Gallery, Delhi. Acrylic blocks, that look like transparent ice cubes become the canvas for the Delhi-based artist, who has needled her favourite accomplice — lines — on the surface of these cubes and filled the gaps with acrylic paint. Visitors are allowed to reassemble them, like children do with building blocks, to create their own artwork.
