The exhibition will feature a new body of work continuing Meppayil’s concerns with questions of Modernism and Minimalism through traditional Indian artisan practices.

Prabhavathi Meppayil’s (b. 1965, Bangalore, India) wall-mounted panels and sculptural installations contain subtle yet assiduous gestures that articulate the qualities inherent to her materials and tools. Meppayil’s integration of craft-based labor and process-based art positions her work in unique dialogue with a complex history of material and artistic production, invoking artisanal legacies, affinities with Indian culture, and Minimalist and Postminimalist concepts.

Her work is held in numerous public collections, including the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, Delhi; François Pinault Collection, Venice; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and the Samdani Art Foundation, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
