Art Outdoors /Suhasini Kejriwal: Garden of Un-Earthly Delights
Suhasini Kejriwal uses sculpture, painting, photography and collage to create detailed and imaginative landscapes, inspired by observations made in her daily life. She considers how technology has changed our perception of nature. What was once seen as exotic is now commonplace through easy access to unlimited images.
Garden of Un-Earthly Delights, explores the divide between humans and nature. The artist’s home garden was the inspiration for the work, which became her sanctuary during the Covid-19 pandemic. All the flowers, succulents and leaves are drawn from the species grown there.
Kejriwal has a deep interest in the history of the English garden and its colonial connection to India, when British botanical species and garden designs were first introduced. The layers of images represent the hybrid species that exist in India today as a result. The work also marks an evolution in the artist’s practice with totemic sculpture. With this series she has moved away from contrasting hard and soft materials with embroidered surfaces, to hand-painted bronze on a monumental scale.
Kejriwal lives and works in Kolkata, India. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design, New York and a Master of Fine Arts from Goldsmiths College, London. She has exhibited widely, in India, Berlin, and in London at Frieze Sculpture 2023.

I aim to bridge the chasm between the harshness of reality and the realm of the imaginary - blending the everyday and the fantastic. Nature and the human form are never merely subjects of science or fine art; they are integral components that make up the tapestry of our society.

Jaume Plensa: Wilsis
Wilsis appears to be deep in thought or dreaming. Her eyes are closed and she is inward-looking and self-contained, remote from the present moment and the beauty of the surrounding scenery. Although monumental in size at over 7 metres high, this sculpture depicts a normal girl, rather than immortalising a traditionally extraordinary or powerful person. - Art Outdoors

Henry Moore: Reclining Figure: Arch Leg
Moore’s recumbent figures reflect many different stages of abstraction, with Reclining Figure Arch Leg being highly abstract and comprising two highly simplified forms to suggest a body. Moore often thought of the human figure in terms of landscape, and the reclining position reflects the horizontal bands of earth, sea and sky. The torso and arched leg of this work could be seen as resembling a sea stack and arch as found around the coast of this country.
