Andréia Dulianel, Solo Exhibition
Art & Deal Correspondent

The exhibition ‘Layers of The Gaze’ by the Brazilian plastic artist Andréia Dulianel was organized by the India International Center and exhibited in the Art Gallery in the Lodi Garden area during the month of January 2018.

This series of monochromatic abstract works was a visual representation of the multi-layered visual experience of the artist while she was travelling, and consisted of drawings on fabrics as well as sketch books and travel journals. The works on display are part of the artists research for her PHD in Visual Arts at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP). The exhibition also featured plastic works which the artist created while on an artistic residency in India which was sponsored by the Brazilian Embassy in New Delhi between December 2017 and January 2018.

The works in this exhibition are a direct result of the artist processing and representing her experiences and concerns which arose from her immersion into Indian culture and her adjustment to a new environment. Thus we have a unique representation of the culture which surrounds us, as depicted by an individual experiencing India from a different social context.

We experience the world around us through a collection of senses, which the mind processes in layers. ‘Layers of the Gaze’ is a window into the process of construction and deconstruction of form and image which takes place as we process our external environment.
