Samanta Batra
Mehta was born in New Dehli in 1975 and is now living and working in New York.
She mostly works with paint, ink, and some sculptural installations. She claims
her work investigates themes in gender constructs, socio-politcal order,
colonization, and her own personal history. She tends to pull ideas from
antiquity, and incorporates these ideas into her figural and organic works. She
is incredibly detailed in her drawings and paintings, using small stipples, and
careful penmanship, she achieves beautiful figures and designs. She seems to be
influenced by both religious and mythical philosophies and icons, which are
established in her work once the viewer really examines her pieces. Her work
has been exhibited at several international venues such as the Queens Museum of
the Arts and Bodhi Art Gallery in Mumbai.
