Chitra Ganesh's first comprehensive monograph. This hardcover, 216 page publication is primarily dedicated Chitra's work made between 2013-2023, and includes essays by Saisha Grayson, Tausif Noor, Natasha Bissonauth, Gayatri Gopinath, Svati Shah, Ksenia Soboleva, and an interview with Erica Cardwell.
In a creative career that now spans almost three decades, Chitra Ganesh (b. Brooklyn, New York, US, 1975; lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, US) has built an extensive oeuvre that, anchored in drawing and painting, branches out in manifold ways into media ranging from animation, mural, collage, and sculpture to computer-generated imagery and video. With enormous passion for detail, Ganesh combines a multifaceted palette of cultural influences with the visual idiom of vintage comics, Bollywood posters, and videogames. Her practice lets her delve into narratives and images drawn from the cultural history of South Asia without veering into nostalgia. Her works instead challenge conventions of gender, sexuality, and power by putting complex mythological narratives around iconic female protagonists front and center.
