 Thinking pictures They're nudes, and yet they're not. "It's the sensuality, not the sexuality of the human body that concerns me," Anupam Sud says of her latest exhibition on show at Art Heritage gallery in Delhi. Her canvases are peopled with unclothed bodies, not in an attempt to titillate, but because garments, in her mind, narrow down the figures to a particular society or community. Here, they are just human beings, men and women, nothing else, and the issues remain universal and unrestricted ... materialism, racism, family problems. Like the comment she makes with the two canvases titled The Succession and The Red Chair. In the first, several men stand queued up gazing at a lone chair, symbols of that eternal quest for a position, a promotion, a tag. And in the second, there are two men contemplating several chairs, symbols of the quest for that next position, that next promotion, that next tag. And that next exhibition? -Anna M.M.Vatticad
