MAcrylic-on-consolation painting Adhvi Parekh “Travel in my village” (80 x 240 inches, 2024)-one of those large-scale works that just need to be seen in the flesh. Pixels on the screen cannot approach their ambitions, grandeur, insurmountable strangeness. The messianic figure lies in the center of the triptych, holding the snake like a shed over his head, loyal to him slowly. The array of human and animated hybrids fills every corner, the chimeras, ranging from a double -sided cow to a snake with a human head, to a horse that has a human face, located next to his heart. All this time, a man is determined by the man’s back on his back. Like the triptychs of the Dutch painter, Jeronim Bosch, “Traveling Circus in my village” tells the story consistently, and it seems he acquires new details with each fresh look. Work is part of Madhwi Pareh: Remembering Tales, a solo exhibition in Dag, Delhi, which began on July 11 and ends on August 23.
