RAJESH KARGUTKAR
Rooted in personal biography, Rajesh Kargutkar's visual storytelling intertwines memories and photographs, blurring the boundaries between reality and imagination.
Kargutkar's paintings affirm the inherent right to everyday existence, revealing boundless possibilities within the chawls that defy the constraints of time, space, and resources. By highlighting the lived experiences, memories, and routines of chawl inhabitants, Kargutkar underscores the agency, creativity, and resilience of both individuals and communities, recognising their ability to flourish in the face of adversity. For the artist, every moment, no matter how ordinary, teems with unexplored potential, waiting to be discovered.
