Art Alive Gallery brings to you Whispered Continuum, a solo show of works by Smriti Dixit. Nature, in its quiet persistence, forms the core of Smriti Dixit’s artistic inquiry. Whispered Continuum draws inspiration from the natural landscape and coastal flora near Smriti Dixit’s home in suburban Mumbai, where every creeper, palm, and ripple becomes a metaphor for resilience and transition. Dixit’s works are imaginative recreations of sensations and memories — nuanced reflections on the cycles of growth, decay, and renewal that define both nature and human experience. The alluring sculptural installations, rendered in a predominantly monochromatic palette with red as a prominent hue, draw viewers into their folds of coiled and knotted intricacies. These strange yet intuitively familiar forms embody the beauty of the organic and the unfinished. As Dixit notes, “I think my work is a celebration of the beauty of the ordinary. I understand how rare it is to be ordinary today. I like to describe my work as an array of different wavelengths that capture the essence of germination. Things don’t simply appear in nature — they germinate slowly, taking the time they need.” Evolving since 1995, her process of coiling, weaving, and stitching fabric and found materials is both meditative and transformative — a celebration of nature’s continuity and a quiet critique of our culture’s impulse to tame it. “My works are visuals that I collide with and collaborate with daily, they're more like memories of said visuals. It's an attempt at observing again what has already been observed and the method of revealing the observed by expressing oneself in the endless possibilities of letting a piece of cloth be a piece of cloth in all its extent.”
- Smriti Dixit, Artist
“We are delighted to bring Smriti Dixit’s work to Delhi after two decades. A pioneer in her field, she has been working with the medium of textile since the last three decades and this body of work reaffirms her deep engagement with materiality and her medium. As textile art gains momentum in the global art circuit, her body of work becomes increasingly relevant, initiating conversations around human experiences and their intrinsic connection to nature.”
- Sunaina Anand, Founder-Director, Art Alive Gallery
