Vanitas by Anikesa Dhing

Anikesa Dhing was born in Udaipur. She graduated from MS University, Baroda with an undergraduate and postgraduate degree in Fine Arts. Anikesa uses a vibrant and humorous range of colours and lines which resonates with a ‘pop’ visual vocabulary. The works have a tendency to lie between the disciplines of fine art and design. Through such works Anikesa is trying to talk about the sentimental tendencies materialism holds, and the transactional values of the object-oriented universe. The visual bombardment of the images mimics the anxiety of transitoriness and desire, in such a manner that narrates the story of an object as a prime protagonist. Anikesa lives and works in Baroda.
