Any traveller to India would have noticed the popularity of comic books based on Hindu mythology. The tales of the gods, their battles, and their family dramas are recounted in colourful booklets which have become almost more popular than the original sacred texts upon which they are based.
These familiar comics are the object of subversion by artist Chitra Ganesh, whose digital collages put a surreal twist on the recognizable format.
Ganesh’s digital collages and works created on site in Berlin will be presented at Gallery Nature Morte over the summer. The exhibition opens on Friday June 10, and runs until July 30.
