AN AXIS FOR A REVOLUTION

Event Name: AN AXIS FOR A REVOLUTION
Artists: Vinod Balak

If upheaval could be painted not just as rupture but as generative transformation, AN AXIS FOR A REVOLUTION positions the canvas itself as ground zero for perceiving chaos, memory and society in flux. The exhibition invites viewers to linger within scenes that lean toward the enigmatic and the uncanny, where figures, settings and objects operate like clues in a larger, unsettled narrative that folds history into present urgency.

Vinod Balak’s practice combines densely detailed figurative imagery with layered symbolic and narrative elements that traverse personal, social and mythic terrains. His works often resist simple reading, demanding sustained looking as motifs of objects, flora, fauna and human forms interweave into complex worlds that are at once mysterious, evocative and charged with ambiguity.

The exhibition offers viewers a chance to experience painting as reflective terrain where aesthetic intensity and interpretive depth converge. Through prolonged engagement with these richly wrought images, visitors are encouraged to consider how art can function as both mirror and catalyst for reckoning with violence, transformation and collective imagination.
