An elegant South Indian woman in a sari., a flower adorning her hair. You only see her from behind: this simple portrait, speaks louder than words.
Artist Ashik Jaffer Ali showcases a series of similar watercolour portraits of South Indian women in her solo show that highlights the nuances of their culture. Ashik is excited for her show Secrets in the Folds at ArtStreet 2023 of Coimbatore Vizha. Ashik, who was part of the organising team of Kovai Vizha’s Art Street in the past years, presented her work for the first time in her hometown. From an architect to an activist who employs art as a statement, Ashik finds her journey enriching.
