Sonabai: Another Way of Seeing:
Jul 26, 09 thru Sep 5, 10
Sonabai Rajawar, a sculptor who came to Mingei in 1986 to exhibit her art, was an untrained artist who lived in total isolation for the first fifteen years of her marriage, creating a style of sculpting previously unseen anywhere in India. Her work is whimsical, delightful and imaginative. She has subsequently been given the highest award that any Indian artist can receive and has engendered a whole ‘school’ of art, consequently changing the entire economy of her remote village. The exhibition that will take place at Mingei International is to be a blend of Sonabai’s sculptures, those of other artists she has influenced and photographs and videos — all presented in a very unusual manner.
