Past Forward

The past has always played a role in informing the present and impacting the future. Belonging to Telangana, Anjaneyulu G explores remnants of the past, propelling them forward into the present to examine the impact of history on contemporary times. The title borrows from this idea and his recent body of works in the exhibition explores the intersection of past and present, tradition and innovation. In his hyper-realistic visual imagery, the artist juxtaposes objects from different eras creating a new narrative. Traditional bronze objects with their rich patina and subtle imperfections are placed alongside modern stainless steel pieces with mirror-like surfaces to foster a dialogue between the tales and memories of the past and modern existence.
