About The Artwork

Cosmic Bloom: Iconography for a re-imagined world order 2017 Concept Note: I’m presently exploring new archetypes or perhaps revisiting forgotten mythologies as a response to the several inter-connected and tangential issues surrounding sustainability, consumption, geology and ecology. I'm referencing subtle dichotomies while alluding to the power of empathy, resilience and nurture. This iconography proposes an eco-centric world order as an antidote to the current trend of anthropocentrism. Butterflies, one of the leitmotifs in this body of work, are considered as bio-indicators of the health of an eco-system. They are highly sensitive creatures and react immediately to even subtle changes in the environment. They are the first ones to leave if a particular habitat becomes unsustainable. The Biosphere sculptures on the other hand engage with the idea of how we see the earth itself in our daily musings. Unlike a typical globe these objects are shorn of all markings and territorial demarcations alluding to a primordial time of pure potential. In the Cosmic Bloom sculptures a hybrid of the egg, nest, seed and pod emerges which is at once familiar as well as intriguing. Oscillating between human-centric and elemental imagery I attempt to strike a balance between what is and what could be. This body of work consists of sculpture, installations and video art and is a thematic continuation of my two earlier series titled Golden Bough and other stories from the landfill (2015) and Future Fossils (2016).

Romicon Revola a.k.a Romi is a contemporary visual artist based in Bangalore. Trained as a sculptor, she has experimented with a variety of media. Her work encompasses monumental public sculpture, installation, painting, and video. "My work often explores that mysterious, elusive space that lies between the utopian and the dystopian. While suggesting both an intimacy and a monumentality, my approach reflects the paradigm “the personal is the global". I believe that each one of us is a microcosm of the universe," says the artist. Romi has appropriated the stainless steel material, often considered either industrial or masculine, to weave narratives engaging with feminine musings. In her recent body of work Cosmic Bloom: Iconography for a Reimagined World Order she seeks to explore new archetypes or perhaps even revive forgotten mythologies as a response to the several inter-connected and tangential issues surrounding sustainability, consumption, geology and ecology. She references subtle dichotomies while alluding to the power of empathy, resilience and nurture. From 2005 onwards Romicon Revola has installed public sculptures and has held exhibitions in Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkatta, Kochi, Ahmedabad and Mumbai. Her work is in various private collections in India and abroad. She is involved in several art initiatives and community art programs.
