About the Item

From emerging Indian artist Sonal Varshneya Ojha are the last available works from her Limited Edition of 7 series Kissa Goi. Art 1821 is selling the last 14, different works, of the artists etchings, from her acclaimed series Kissa Goi on 1stDibs. The artworks can be purchased individually or in sets. Kissa Goi Etching on archival paper Edition 2/5 (A/P) Sheet size 17" x 14", image size 13" x 10" 2019 Signed, Editioned, dated and titled in pencil Provenance: From the artist's studio A certificate of Authenticity from the Art 1821 Gallery comes with the artwork. Sonal is a storyteller. Her primary medium of choice is printmaking, exquisite etchings whose protagonists jump off the page to tell their stories. Like all good narratives that lucidly roll from one tale to the other the artist works in series. Be it her Kissa Goi or Emoticons series, each work comprises of many parts, all fitting together as one large work, or, equally as pleasing, as individual works that speak to each other in any combination of pattern. The artist explains that in the evenings the women gather on the roof terraces of her town to tell the tales that are passed down. These are stories that primarily revolve around the woman and their everyday role in a patriarchal society. These tales become mixed with the contemporary, both local and global events that effect the lives of the women. At first glance there is an anecdotal quality to the visual narratives but look a little longer and you will be rewarded by layer upon layer of meaning. Through the clever use of text and images of objects which may at first appear to be dislocated, each part of the image pulls together the narrative, expanding it into many different levels. In Sonal's own words, 'I live in Lucknow, that is my studio. There is a very old tradition in Lucknow, which we are kissa goi, in which everyone shares their stories, the stories of which we are happy to remember, they are very beautiful forgetful tales. There are many stories that are related to me and can be related to you, which are all of us, my work title is kissa goi, in this I have prepared a panel of works.' In this particular work Sonal tells the tale, 'Everyone always said that my mother has eyes like Hema Malini and my mother';s eyes were really good. Anyway, there are many people of the same face, you must have seen somewhere. So I made a poster of Dream Girl and made a tree in which my mother wrote, Peacock, my mother loved it so much.'
