"Hey Ladies!" by Shelly Bahl

Recent Paintings by Shelly Bahl

3 September - 3 October, 1998

WARC Gallery

Opening reception: Tuesday September 8, 6-8pm

In this new series of works, Shelly plays with the traditions of Indian Miniatures, Pop Art and big and bad paintings from the 1980’s. Bringing together representations of women from different backgrounds to create surreal and hybrid realities. In the large-scale works she appropriates images of royal women pursuing leisure activities in the Mughul courts of India, and juxtaposes and intertwines them with depictions of contemporary women and popular culture.
