Catalogue Note
Nasreen Mohamedi’s work, a sublime, nature-based abstraction, explores space and perspective with a serene secularity 💟; 'treating nature as metaphor in the expanded field ⛎of the lyric image. What she does with the utopian language of abstraction, subliminally figuring in her imagination, is to both turn it into a bodily experience, and to give it pure opticality.' (Geeta Kapur in ‘Nasreen in Retrospect’, p.16). Nasreen’s fascination with technology: precision apparatus and architectural drawings is also reflected in this work. 'The drawing floats and settles like a macrocosmic grid on the paper, it appears as a mini-matrix in the lucid eye.' (ibid)
