Chitra Ganesh: Protest Fantasies
Gallery Wendi Norris
Sep. 10, 2024 - Oct. 31, 2015
“Protest Fantasies” marks Brooklyn-based artist Chitra Ganesh’s second solo exhibition at Gallery Wendi Norris. The show features a series of new mixed media works on canvas that address issues central to the artist’s practice, including mythologies and gender politics. Ganesh enhances the vivid hues and color saturation characteristic of her work by integrating materials like fake fur, silk flower petals, sequins, and more. The works in “Protest Fantasies” act as poetic meditations on images of protest, aligning them with performative actions in contemporary cultures across the globe. The exhibition will open on Thursday, September 10 with a public reception from 6–8PM, and will be on view through October 31.
