New Delhi, April 12: Nilima Sheikh, one of the pioneers of a feminist vision in Indian art in the 1970s, is back in the capital after six years for a solo exhibition.
Most of her art works for the show "Drawing Trails: Work on Paper 2008-2009" - beginning at Gallery Espace April 17 - talk of issues like women's empowerment, rights of the girl child, domestic life, terrorism and Kashmir. There's a medley of figures, texts and manually-blended pigments on Sanganer paper, sourced from near Jaipur in Rajasthan.
Texts and issues are the high points of Vadodara-based Sheikh's art work.
