Description
Anjana received her Diploma in Painting from the Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai, 1965 and completed a Post Graduate degree in Printmaking from M.S. University, Baroda in 1972. She draws inspiration from the experiences of living in a joint family, the oppression and the density of the city and its society. These observations become part of her creative thought process resulting in human figures appearing on the canvas and telling their story. The artist presently lives and works in Mumbai.
About Space 118
Since 2010, Space118 provides five studios on a short-term basis (1-2 months) to artists as part of its commitment to supporting emerging art practitioners from all parts of the country and the world. We are looking at a diverse group of artists working in the studios to create a lively, supportive and dynamic working environment. We aim to foster the exchange of ideas and experiences amongst artists who work in different fields of art practice.
We hope to nurture the interdisciplinary impetus for collaboration and collective exchange. It will also be possible for artists to interact with a range of institutions (scientific, industrial and artistic) based in Mumbai or to simply use their studio term as a playful engagement with the city and its landscape.
In exchange for their enriching time in our studios, artists are required to grant a work either created during their studio practice or from previous collections. These artworks are catalogued and exhibited periodically to generate funds for the sustainability and maintenance of the space.
Located in the heart of industrial Bombay, a 15 minute drive from Kalaghoda and the art district in Colaba, artists have the freedom to experience the rich and cultural art scene on a daily basis. We encourage artists to have the freedom to develop their work at their own pace and interpret the studio term from their own perspective.
