Artist Shibani Sehgal presents a captivating collection of mixed media collages that transcend mere assemblage, serving as intricate meditations on nature, memory, and materiality. Her practice draws on an intuitive, tactile process—cutting, layering, and composing self-created papers where every fragment finds its harmonious place within a larger, lyrical whole.
Rooted in an exploration of texture and light, Sehgal’s works incorporate shimmering metallic tones of gold, silver, and copper. These radiant overlays shift subtly with the viewer’s gaze, revealing a complex terrain of mark-making, gestural strokes, and tactile imprints that evoke layered time.
Rather than rendering birds and botanicals in conventional forms, Shibani brings them forth through refined abstraction. Silhouettes cut from hand-painted papers preserve the intimacy of the artist's touch, balancing precision and spontaneity. In her series Rtusamhara, simple paper is transformed into luminous landscapes of thought, emotion, and quiet poetry.
