Rana Begum at Amrita Jhaveri Project Space, Mumbai

In "The Folded Page," Rana Begum considers the personal epiphanies found through repetition and movement. A relief series of oblong shafts of aluminium, suspended at regular intervals, lends an immediate impression of precision: lines and slopes measured with forensic calculation, angles and edges juxtaposed with geometric care, scale and shape controlled with technical cunning: an apparent abolition of the arbitrary. However, when viewed from the side, works like No.266 and No.268 open up avenues of whimsical colour - pink, blue, yellow - and the strict geometric form ripples into life, revealing something far more subtle and inviting, more alive and beautiful, at the heart of Rana Begum's art.
