Expanding the Canvas
The second gallery is dedicated to later and large-scale oil paintings by Arpana Caur. Here, her practice expands in scope and intensity, addressing themes of ecology, violence, memory, and the human condition.
Collection Highlights
Environmental Works
Canvases on rivers, forests, and urban decay, reflecting her deep concern for ecological balance.
Testimonies of Violence
Paintings responding to Partition, 1984, and other historical traumas.
The Cosmic Feminine
Monumental depictions of women not as victims but as cosmic presences
Why It Matters
If Gallery I reflects the roots of her journey, Gallery II embodies its expansion and maturity. These works resonate globally yet remain rooted in India’s lived experiences. Together, the two galleries form an unmatched resource for understanding modern Indian art.
