Kirann Telkar
October 31, 2008

Nature Morte is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new works by the New Delhi based artist Kirann Telkar.

In a suite of large-scale paintings and sculptures, Kirann Telkar addresses issues of conservation, consumerism and environmental degradation. He uses the image of the disposable soft drink bottle as an icon representing both Western and capitalist influence on India but also as a benign signifier found in all cultures throughout the world, operating everywhere but strangely homeless. It is precisely the passivity of this icon that appeals to the artist and allows him to use it in a wide variety of applications, mixed with many other symbols and images for multiple effects.

Kirann Telkar was born in Mumbai in 1968 and is self-taught as an artist. He has had a solo exhibition of his works at the Sakshi Gallery in Mumbai in 2002 and at Bose Pacia Kolkata in April 2007. His works have been included in a wide number of group exhibitions in Mumbai, Delhi and internationally.
