Statement

A graduate of the Delhi College of Art, New Delhi, Pragya’s art works were commended and appreciated even during her student days. Aware of the ever expanding number of connoisseurs of Indian contemporary art in the city, Pragya made a conscious choice of holding her first solo showing in Bangalore due to the vibrant art scene in India.

 Currently a resident of Springfield, MA, Pragya has continued with her art interest even abroad and has begun to make positive inroads into the contemporary art scene.  Besides organizing an exhibition of works at her own studio premises , she has also exhibited her art at various galleries around the globe. The pristine lines of determined geometry that adorn her canvases are favored by viewers for their clean contours. Her color palette ranges from sharp black and white contrasts to a fine merger of contiguous blends. The imposition of a ballerina in motion on the surface suggests a mood of well-being, harmony and lyricism. Fascinated by the drama of opposites attracted towards each other, Pragya reveals an entirely different personality in other works, where the squared segments box in her ideas into compartmented cellular arrangements, suggesting a narrative born of questioning, statements on current trends, and the need to focus on issues in a systematic manner. 

The growth pattern in her art is visible through a striving to explore. They reveal her findings through colors, design, and evocative imagery being integrated into a vision of grace, spirituality and happiness.
