New Delhi [India], October 3: Anita Goel’s solo exhibition, ‘I Don’t See You’ explores social identity and the erasure of this identity from both the self and social memory. The blank faces depicted in her paintings, devoid of recognizable features, raise poignant questions about connection and disconnection in contemporary society. Inaugurated by luminaries like Rajiv Mishra — Directorate of Art, Maharashtra, and Principal of Sir JJ School of Arts, Padma Shri Dr. Soma Ghosh, Chirantana Bhatt, and Prakash Bal Joshi at Nitya Artist Centre, this powerful exhibition, curated by Sanjeev Sonpimpare, challenges norms and opens new dialogues through her captivating art.
As Rajiv Mishra eloquently put it, “When an artist says ‘I Don’t See You,’ it means she wants you to see the works to understand why she doesn’t see you. Perspectives like these are what excite me as a viewer.” His insight into the exhibition captures the essence of Goel’s exploration of invisibility and perception.
Padma Shri Dr. Soma Ghosh shared her admiration, stating, “Defying the norm and carving her own niche makes Anita Goel stand head and shoulders above the rest. She has redefined the artistic narrative in ways that compel us to look deeper.” Meanwhile, Chirantana Bhatt emphasized, “When Anita’s thoughts are translated onto the canvas, they make the audience think and act. Her work allows each viewer to see their personal stories unfold, just as the artist has shared hers.”
Goel’s faceless figures evoke silence that speaks louder than words, creating an environment where even the unspoken carries a profound narrative. Her work resonates deeply, reflecting not just her personal journey but the collective stories of those who engage with her art. Every piece offers an opportunity for introspection, where viewers confront their own emotional voids and memories.
The gallery space itself becomes a place of contemplation, where Sanjeev Sonpimpare’s curation adds layers to the narrative, allowing silence to become a powerful storyteller. As Goel reflects, “It’s not just about how we present ourselves, but how we choose to disappear, to let go of the need for recognition.” In this silence, the art resonates, allowing each viewer to uncover their own emotions and memories.
This exhibition is not just a display of art; it is a powerful commentary on the human condition, reminding us that seeing is not merely a physical act but a choice influenced by emotional and social contexts. I Don’t See You is a profound reflection on identity, and its voice reverberates across the gallery, inviting each viewer to engage in a dialogue with the unseen.
Step into a world where art transcends boundaries and the unseen becomes a statement.
