Devi Seetharam, Sydney Contemporary (2024)

LON Gallery is delighted to return to Sydney Contemporary this year, presenting a solo exhibition by Devi Seetharam.

An early-career artist based in Bangalore, India, Seetharam’s thought-provoking and meticulously rendered paintings examine the performance of patriarchy in public space.

Seetharam presented new paintings from her ongoing series Brothers, Fathers and Uncles, which tackle the patriarchal vestiges of her hometown that have resisted the sweep of time. Paintings from this series were exhibited at the 2023 edition of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, to significant acclaim.
