Description

Sheela Gowda's practice explores the complexities of modern Indian life, blending traditional craftsmanship with poetic intensity. Her use of distinctive materials, such as cow dung and kumkum powder, lends her work narrative form and metaphorical force. Gowda began her career as an oil painter, testing themes that would shape her later practice, including everyday life, women's experiences, and the appropriation of media images. Her adoption of cow dung as a medium in the early 1990s reflects its relevance to Hindu culture and its multifaceted significance in modern India. Through her work, Gowda explores the intersections of tradition, practicality, and ritual, creating immersive installations that carry magical, cult, and personal connotations.
