Abul Hisham's New Show Explores Themes of Ritual and Memory
Imagine an artist named Abul Hisham who makes art about important things.
He has a new art show called 'Shrines.'
The art includes big paintings and sculptures that look like parts of temples.
A main idea in his art is 'a man near the wall'.
These paintings show a person standing with their back to you, like they are watching out for something.
The art also uses symbols and shapes, like walls and pillars, to show ideas about borders, memory, and history.
Hisham uses materials such as wood, paint and powder to create these artworks.
Some of the art looks like it's from an old place or a ruined temple.
It makes you think about big ideas like identity and how we remember things.
Abul Hisham's solo show 'Shrines' is currently at Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke, Delhi.
The exhibition features large paintings and sculptural forms.
The 'Man Near the Wall' is a recurring motif, appearing in multiple works.
Hisham uses materials like acrylic and casting powder, creating unique textures.
The show explores themes of ritual, memory, and sociopolitical issues.
