Abhaya Rajani
Biography / Artist statement
Abhaya Rajani's projects are inspired by contemporary questions that do not seek answers, and instead raise further questions. Through installations, drawing or sculpture, topics often concern the materiality of everyday objects and their meanings with respect to the physicality of the human psyche. The work intends to play with the viewer's mind by subconsciously projecting politics and poetic humour with the use of satire. The artist is particularly interested in the manufacturing and functionality of everyday objects, with a specific focus on architectural language. A recurring technique is the use of incongruous materials in the representation of mundane objects, in order to analyse the nature of symbolism in defining the tools of human existence.
