OCA Student: Dhama Thanigasapapathy, Artists Talk

Dhama Thanigasapapathy

Artists Talk

Friday 17th March 7 – 8pm

Dhama Thanigasapapathy is a London based artist whose work is informed by science fiction, psychology, futurism and her fascination with the awesome power and chaotic beauty of climatic phenomena.

She spends many hours painting, drawing and photographing the landscape before creating semi-figurative landscapes of future possibilities based on a complex layering of reality, imagination, multiple overlapping memories, cultural stories and emotional drivers including unease and nostalgia.

Rather than showing the moment of devastation, it stands at the edges observing the creeping anticipation and intentionality and the elegiac aftermath. The ghostly remnants of the past linger as storms and seas encroach, time elapses, erosion occurs, human artefacts break down, natural objects are displaced, matter grows over the ruins of civilisations.

Please join Dhama in conversation with Programme Leader Emma Drye using the zoom link in the RSVP confirmation.
