About the artist:

Preksha Tater is a visual artist currently based in Bangalore. Her interests move from personal to public spaces, from social concerns to abstract constructions. Her process integrates drawing, sculpture, and installation in a multitude of ways. In the past few years, her practice has been revolving and evolving around the ideas and questions concerning love and its relationship with the body, hope, and perseverance.

This exhibition gives a peek into her practice of the last 7 years that include drawings on paper and sculptures. ‘Walking Wings’ is a collective yet fluid reflection of little episodes, intimate encounters between characters and figures, between line and color, between the figurative and the abstract from her every day. Walking is suggestive of gradual movement in a pace and capacity chosen by oneself, it's the sheer resilience in the spirit of infinite possibilities. The interwoven narrative between the works is not linear or progressive rather they accumulate into an abundance of delicate moments and a complex spectrum of emotions. Although each work is in itself subtle and refined, the juxtaposition of the varied scenes creates a profound exploration of human emotions.

Preksha Tater (b. 1981) did her BFA and MFA in painting from Maharaja Sayajirao University, Vadodara in the year 2007 and 2009 respectively. The Nasreen Mohamedi award was presented to her in 2007. In 2009, she had her first solo show, ‘Small Wonders’ at Strand Art Room, Mumbai, and also received the prestigious Inlaks Fine Arts award. During the same time, her works were selected to be part of the FICA annual group show at Vadehra Art Gallery. She has participated in numerous national and international residencies and exhibitions in Delhi, Baroda, Mumbai, Egypt, Korea, London, and more. From 2014 until 2022, she was a lecturer at the V.N.S.G.U. Faculty of Fine Arts, Surat, Gujarat.
