Jayasri Burman : The Whisper of Water, The Sound Of Stars

Launched in conjunction with Jayasri Burman’s solo exhibition The Whisper of Water, The Song of Stars, the publication is an immersive journey into her enchanting universe exploring the cosmic connection of stars and water bodies, the harmony of colours, and the expanse of mystical landscapes. It investigates Burman's artistic odyssey, which is a testament to her deep connection with tradition, retold through a modern perspective that echoes the concerns of today, weaving together the colourful threads of ancient mythology, nature, and the unyielding power of women.
Featuring contributions from Gayatri Sinha, critic, editor and curator; Nandini Ghosh, art historian, author, and educationist; Premjish Achari, curator and writer based in Delhi; as well as Satarupa Bhattacharya, scholar and writer, the book traces the evolution of Burman, highlighting her leitmotifs and the beauty of the female form, creating a profound connection with Prakriti and embracing abstraction and new materiality.
