Dhiraj Pednekar
A Promised Land - II

2022

About the Item

The series drew inspiration from my reading of Pranay Lal’s Indica: A Deep Natural History of the Indian Subcontinent (2016). The book’s focus on sheer life force and exuberance stemming out of India’s natural history and the science behind life not only inspired me but also forced me to think deeply about the state of life on the planet. The title, therefore, is ironically suggestive of the way humankind is (mis) treating natural resources to fulfil its unbridled greed. The series across thirty or more drawings attempt to build an apocalyptic vision of life where the natural world and the animals who inhabit it bears the brunt of over-exploitation.

  • River can change its colour, River can change its course
    Located in Stamford, CT
    River is often associated as the sustainers of life and fertility, the irreversible passage of time, and a sense of change leading to loss, and death. But in this work, a river is much more than water flowing to the sea. Shifting of course and changing color is a natural tendency, but sometimes it will be a strong erosional force that can devastate and disappear a human civilization.
