ANPU VARKEY
DEAD SOULS
MAY 27 – JUNE 10, 2008
OPENING RECEPTION MAY 29, 2008 6:30 – 8:30 PM.

The GUILD ART USA INC. is pleased to present Anpu Varkey’s solo exhibition, ‘Dead Souls’. The works compiled for the exhibition “Dead Souls” by Anpu Varkey are contemplations recorded from over two years of her life lived between London and her hometown Bangalore. Possessing a somewhat self - obsessed voyeuristic personality with two tablespoons of nihilistic misanthropy thrown in, the compositions featured in this compilation are quite random. The works are not informed by any global or local sentiment. They do not try to engage the audience in any manner apart from any energy resulting spontaneously out of the optical and psychological jerks that they transmit. The compositions are structured with a studied laziness and a graceful clumsiness of the wrist. Colors are layered to deftly model out a vibrancy that is centrifugal yet static. Perfect detailing and all misinterpretations resulting from it is subjugated by the hyper intuitive color usage that captures a state of limbo, where time, place and contexts can be dematerialized into nothingness.

The show opens on the 27th of May and continues till the 10th of June. The opening reception will be held at the gallery on the 29th of May from 6:30 – 8:30. Anpu Varkey will be in attendance. We look forward to seeing you at the opening.
