Shailee Mehta

Overzicht

Shailee Mehta's artistic practice stems from an ongoing dialogue between a personal space of imagination and nostalgia, and the weaving of history, memory and contemporary narratives. Working extensively with elements of figuration and embodiment, she situates the female body as a central agential subject in her explorations around femininity and visibility. Her work is descriptive of a poetics of space where elements of the interior and the exterior blend into each other: hence her protagonists are placed in domestic settings and yet their features, colours and forms merge with their natural environment, giving them an unsettling 'untamed' appearance. Rooted in the female gaze, her female figures subvert patriarchal tropes, and the narratives of looking and being looked at take up multiple meanings such as desire, contemplation or rejection.

 

Mehta completed her BFA in 2020 at The Slade School of Fine Art. Mehta received a BFA from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2020. Her solo Mudbath opened at indigo+madder London in June 2023.
