Leila Heller Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Indian conceptual artist Sudarshan Shetty (b. 1961), best known for his enigmatic sculptural installations, he has long been recognized as one of his generation’s most innovative artists. The exhibition features two distinct bodies of work ‘A Song, A Story’, and ‘The Empty Vessel’ including 2 central installations, video pieces, and works of recycled teak wood and found ceramics. Large sculptural installations and multimedia works define Sudarshan Shetty’s oeuvre, often employing assemblages of quotidian objects that suggest new possibilities of meaning and perception, through diverse approaches that have included sculptural and architectural elements.
