2015 - Except it's a Girl

  “In this recent suite of paintings Gayatri Gamuz contemplates upon the feminine as an essential quality in Nature and relates aggression to nature and aggression to women as a parallel anguish. Based on an eco-feministic point of view, the title “It is a girl” examines the connections between women and Nature, the gendered categories in order to demonstrate the ways in which social norms exert unjust dominance over women and Nature”.

2013 - My Name is Gayatri Gamuz

“My name is Gayatri Gamuz is a collection of paintings on identity, location and being.

 

These paintings explore and narrate myself, my surroundings and the constant parallelisms which I encounter intensively between India, where I live since twenty years, and Spain where I come from… I relate and juxtapose the real and the imaginary from the present moment, from the day by day realities and from memories and dreams.

 

With the titles: “my cow”, “my tropical birds”, “my sky”, my relatives, myself”, my bull “, I emphasize the illusion of the idea of belonging, possession, closeness, farness, familiarity, similitude and difference.

2010 - Reflections on Beauty

 With these paintings I examine the dilemma and the unconscious limitations of the parameters of beauty which has been the primary subject of inquiry in the history of art.  

 

The ribbon is a superficial beautification; it is a metaphor on the profound artificialities which we adopt as tools of survival in a world which demands a decorated reality in order to handle the vulnerable existence inside the “lost paradise”.

2008 - Of the Same Matter

Her paintings are deeply political in this metaphorical sense and at the same time they show the artist’s sincere concerns for the environmental imbalance caused by various agencies in the world. However, it is pertinent to look at Gayatri’s present suite of paintings as a political critique rather than an individual’s silent wailings on environmental issues.

2007 - In Land Without Trees

“Gayatri Gamuz's paintings help us break free from the hypnosis of the historical eddy (which leaves everything, from ducks to hippos stranded in a plastic bucket) and feel  within ourselves once again the roots of ancient cycles of partnership between humanity and the more-than-human world.”

Postcards from Spain

  "Postcards from Spain" is a collection of miniatures painted from photographs which my son, at the age of 8, took in one of our journeys to Spain. These images    arise from a very particular perspective of a Spanish- Indian boy who grew up in India. The constant impact the new esthetics provoqued on him   moved him  to    click  frenetically individuals, streets, landscapes…from a very particular point of view which differs tremendously from mine.
