Odyssey: A Solo Exhibition

Khushii Art presents Odyssey, a solo exhibition by artist Poonam Bhatnagar, curated by Uma Nair, at LTC, Bikaner House, New Delhi. The exhibition traces Bhatnagar’s artistic journey through nature, memory, mythology and spirituality, bringing together works from four thematic series — Prakriti, Mayura, Enlightened One and Mythos.

Bhatnagar’s works draw from her childhood memories, travels across continents and her interest in mythological and human subjects. A distinctive element of her practice is her “webcast technique”, developed after she studied the intricate structure of a spider’s web in 2016. The technique creates an intricate, almost infinite web of lines and embellishments that forms the foundation of many of her works. Prakriti explores landscapes and the changing moods of nature, while Mayura brings together peacocks with architectural references to Rajasthan’s havelis. Enlightened One focuses on Buddha through soft, autumnal and tropical imagery.

The final section of the exhibition moves into the world of Indian mythology, featuring figures including Hanuman, Saraswati, Lord Shiva, Lord Ram, Ganesha and Lakshmi. Meerabai, presented through the ideas of bhakti, music and stories from the past, features prominently at the entrance to the exhibition. Curated by Uma Nair, Odyssey looks at the artist’s relationship with beauty, storytelling and the cultural imagination, while bringing together different stages and themes from her artistic journey.
