Shanti Grandhi: Framed Absence: A Lyrical Dance
@ Art City
1400 N Halsted St, Chicago, IL 60614
Opening Saturday, November 9th, from 5PM - 9PM
“Framed Absence:
A Lyrical Dance”
by Shanti Grandhi
Shanti Grandhi is currently a second year MFA Candidate in the Painting and Drawing Department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She was born in Arlington Heights, IL and lived in New York City before joining SAIC.
Her paintings are a meditation on narratives, how history gets written and how the language of paint makes meaning. Through mark making and color, she explores her relationship with culture, memory, time and space. Pulling fragments from a wide range of the art historical canon such from Indian miniature paintings to Tintoretto and Michael Armitage, she stitches together various experiences—lived, imagined, inherited and appropriated. She seeks to create sensations, feelings and movement and to find moments of rest amongst the motion.
Shanti also holds degrees from University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University and Harvard Business School.
