Lisa Ray Instagram – Another artist I collect is exhibiting in #Mumbai Check out Rithika’s illusory reality overflowing with vibrant myth and archetypes Posted @withregram • @tarqmumbai “The capacity for change and knowledge is within all of us. We posses the inner strength to overcome, adapt and move forward. We need to reach the summit of our own self actualisation or order to be able to enact meaningful change in the world around us.” Rithika Merchant’s ‘Birth of a New World’ opens this Thursday, just in time for @mumbai_gallery_weekend 2021! In this new series of watercolours and collages, @rithikamerchant focuses on the contemporary moment. With nature continuing to play a vital role in her works, Rithika invites us to ponder the age-old questions of what is deemed worthy of saving and how do we strike a balance? Is there a possibility of a utopia or are we chasing after the unattainable? What will we take with us and what gets left behind?
