Private view and walkthrough of our exhibition 'Exit the Tiger: Symbols of Valour in Tipu's India, by Adeela Suleman'.
Internationally renowned Karachi-based artist Adeela Suleman is known for the social and political commentary underlying her sculptures, which are created out of everyday objects. The recurring motifs in Suleman’s work - organic subjects such as birds and flowers - form detailed, repetitive patterns, which are replete with symbolic meaning.
Abstracted notions of loss and disappearance quietly resonate through her sculptures. In lieu of tombs, memorials and funerals, the works confront our earthly fears, but remain suggestive of transcendental relief. fragmented documentaries referencing recent violent and catastrophic occurrences within the artist’s socio- political landscape.
For the artist’s second solo show at Grosvenor Gallery, she reflects on the tumultuous life of Tipu Sultan, his conflicts, resistance and the legacy he left behind.
