Sohrab Hura’s third solo in Kolkata, The Forest at Experimenter – Ballygunge Place, brings together new oil paintings, recent works on paper, and video. Drawn from the series of ongoing oil paintings, the title encompasses within itself the act of waiting, denoting the forest as a place with a multitude of possibilities—it can harbour secrets and provide refuge or even a sense of solace and comfort. Hura’s exploration in image-making through drawing is underscored by his tendency to reflect upon the social and the political through everyday ordinariness underscored by love, joy, relationships, and the familial.
