Karin Weber Gallery is pleased to announce the first solo exhibition of Phaneendra Nath Chaturvedi in Hong Kong.

Phaneendra is an emerging artist currently at the forefront of contemporary art in India.  His large format multi-panel with anthropomorphic figures works are a part of our modern World, and belong equally to the exotic fantasy World of nowhere. Nuts, bolts and metallic strips seem their very essence, in lieu of blood, sweat and tears. These cross-currents of our existence touch the core of Phaneendra’s expressions in this public exposition, through these Anthropomorphic and allied images, where the benevolent man of yester years has metamorphosed into a modern man, devoid of nobility and philanthropy. His stark drawings in this exhibition, “An Anthropomorphic Incarnation”, portray brutal reality of the new incarnated man. The artist portrays a world where humanity seems to be veering dangerously down a self-willed path to extinction, with 'normalcy' being tailor-made on a daily basis to suit one's selfish needs. These anthropomorphic beings focus attention on the fakeness of beautiful appearances and the corruption that the artist believes has found its way into every aspect of contemporary human existence and interaction.

The incarnated anthropomorphic beings deeply affect the artist and enhance the viewer's experience.
