Shalini Passi Instagram – JONATHAN TRAYTE – ACID DISCO | AKARA CONTEMPORARY, MUMBAI
Akara Contemporary unveils Acid Disco, a bold and playful solo exhibition by Jonathan Trayte, where the boundaries between nature, artifice, and consumption dissolve into a surreal spectacle.
Drawing from culinary traditions and consumer culture, Trayte transforms everyday produce into larger-than-life bronze sculptures, coated in electric hues and glossy finishes. His striking compositions—ripe with exaggerated forms and saccharine colors—invite us to question indulgence, excess, and the allure of synthetic perfection. Balancing between the seductive and the grotesque, Acid Disco presents a world where food is no longer just sustenance but a sculptural embodiment of desire and decadence.
Step inside this hyper-sensory feast and experience a realm where art and appetite collide.
