Anitha Menon commenced her dedicated visual art practice in 2015. What began as a passionate hobby took on a deeper dimension after multiple works were selected as finalists in the local Art Gallery in 2017 and 2019. As a migrant homemaker, her house and the domestic, everyday objects associated with it have been major influences in her art thus far. Through her art, Anitha finds quiet beauty in the mundane and records the passage of time with thoughtful tenderness. She is drawn towards symbolism and often uses richly focussed textures and pattern in her carefully composed still-life’s. Anitha takes pride in the migrant experiences that have shaped her artistic identity and hopes to create art that resonates with her experiences while showcasing her works to the wider community. Oil paints on canvas are mainly her forte. She uses charcoal and graphite/pens occasionally in her works. Domesticity, self, migration, isolation, nostalgia, culture – these themes have resonated with her art practice so far. |
