This month at we’ve got three Sai Pradhan pieces adding vibes in the best possible way. 🍷🖼️
She juxtaposes a few elements from her own context: the plants around her coastal home in Hong Kong; her take on commemorative torans that one might find in monumental temples and forts; freehand forms that harken to Rangoli or Mehndi in South Asia, as well as to the aesthetic exchange she observes between those and resurgent Art Deco styles - especially with elements like ornate window grills and gates in Hong Kong, New York, London, and Mumbai architecture; and, contemporary visual imagery tied to indoor spaces, to merge them with the outdoors.

Myth (no. 20)
A dog, a gecko, and depictions of eggs recur as motifs, often situated like demi-Gods, within grand arches and depictions of nature, a nod to Sai’s fondness for how creatures often surreally mix with humans and flora in the global historical art and architectural context.
With regard to eggs (no. 1)
In “With regard to eggs,” Sai Pradhan depicts a woman of uncertain age contemplating an egg - a symbol for many things: possibility, origin, nourishment, abundance, economic markers, evolution, choice, as well as a loss of choice.
Gaze (no. 14)
Sai has been drawing girls and women with binoculars for years; it stems from her interest in exploring visibility, invisibility, double-consciousness, and observation versus performance.
Come with friends to admire them in person 👀✨
