Self (as) Harnessing Pistons by Sehaj Malik

This work encompasses my body. The canvas, resting against the wall, stands just slightly taller than me and slightly wider than my shoulders. The canvas received the width and height of my body, a stoic receiver to an active body. In this work, I traced the movements of my body, from piston-like arms to a tubular pelvis. A self-portrait of the body reimagined as a well-oiled machine in movement.

An original artwork by Sehaj Malik from her debut solo exhibition "Points of Cont(act)" at Method Delhi.

Sehaj Malik

Sehaj Malik is a final-year masters student at École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Paris. She is working under the atelier of Werhner Bouwens. She creates instruction-based drawings to focus on zones of the body. Working often in charcoal, her practice develops through the physical displacement of the body, by pushing it to points of fatigue.
