Chetnaa (Delhi )
About Artist
Lines are everywhere.. Lines can make you wait.. Lines can hold you back.. Lines can set you free.. Lines can keep you together.. Lines can set you apart.. But eventually what matters are the lines that you leave behind.. The journey of a moving point, is recorded by the trail it leaves behind, geometrically known as a Line. A point can be considered to be the inception of everything present in nature; therefore a line proves to be an inevitable part of our existence. Born and brought up in Delhi, Chetnaa completed her Master’s degrees in Painting from the College of Art in the city. The core of her art focuses on geometricism and lines reflective of the urban metroscape. Her drawings and paintings, formed by moving points, and their grouping and ungrouping, take on an abstract oeuvre as they are then developed into unified compositions. The concept of her lines is straight and simple and yet balanced in its discourse. She has been a part of many exhibitions in India and outside India, Delhi, Scotland, China, Chandigarh, Bangalore, Brussels to name a few. The artist has received AIFACS, All India Drawing Award, Emerging Artist of the Year by Glenfiddich and Best College Art Award, Special mention Award, SCZCC, Nagpur. Her works are in the collection of the College of Art Museum, Museum of Sacred Arts, Belgium as well as other private collectors in India and abroad.Artwork
