The Painting
An expression of love often leaves one feeling tender. The body moves differently through space almost dancing under the
tingling of tenderness that love allows. ‘A Kiss’ explores this feeling in the body.
The Artform
These works belong to the contemporary works-on-paper and mixed-media drawing practice, combining Indian ink, natural pigments, pastel, graphite, charcoal, pencil, and water-soluble graphite on handmade paper and Khadi paper. The fluidity of ink and pigment is layered with delicate drawing and gestural marks, creating subtle textures, stains, washes, and organic forms.
The artform uses line, abstraction, movement, and materiality to explore inner and emotional landscapes. Rather than relying on defined imagery, the works allow forms to emerge through fluid marks and textures, creating visual expressions of anxiety, uncertainty, memory, isolation, resilience, connection, and the changing relationship between the body and its surroundings.
The Artist
Tasneem Lohani (b. 1996) is a Bengaluru-based contemporary artist whose practice explores alienation, disembodiment, and social fragmentation in an increasingly digitised world. Her work examines techno-capitalism, digital communication, surveillance, and algorithmic systems, focusing on their impact on identity, perception, relationships, and mental health.
Her recent research turns toward traditional Indian textile dyeing practices and natural materials, exploring slower and ecologically responsive forms of making as a counterpoint to extractive digital economies. Lohani holds an MFA from Kingston University, London, and a BVA in Fine Art from Stella Maris College, Chennai. Her work has been exhibited in India and internationally, and she has participated in residencies in Leipzig, London, and Bengaluru.
Provenance
The painting has been created by Bridge Bharat’s master artist partners.
