Memoirs of Tanaz and Vimala

Sakshi Gallery, Mumbai, India

Remen Chopra W. Van Der Vaart in her two- and three-dimensional works, combines diverse mediums like drawing, painting and photography, borrowing visual references from the real as well as imaginary realms. She begins by staging a theatrical performance with actors, making spontaneous renderings of the enactments on paper with archival pen, acrylic and pencils. She layers these drawings with sketches, photography and painted imagery, a technique that allows her to travel through different dimensions and facets of time, exploring and questioning notions of truth, history, identity, memory and transformation of the self.

On a deeper level, Vdv is engaged in exploring the principle of balance and symmetry, which according to her, underlies everything in the universe and is a critical aspect in understanding the ‘New Renaissance'. The New Renaissance encourages the reawakening of the divine ratio, a timeless principle that is ubiquitous around us - in nature, galaxies, human anatomy and even our atomic pattern. Remen lets this principle manifest in her works in various forms, as she attempts to revive the collective consciousness to the harmony inherent within and around us.
