In Stomach Studio, Harsha’s first solo exhibition in New Delhi — currently showing at Vadehra Art Gallery — the artist keenly observes our current pandemic-ridden world with both humour and despair. Comprising a cast of outlandish characters, from an octopus-headed lamp-lighter to mutant rats making love, his works —ranging from quotidian to supernatural — allude to a sense of eccentricity as well as perceptive socio-political awareness. We asked New Delhi-based writer Riddhi Dastidar to review the exhibition.
