RITUAL AND DEVOTION, SNEHA SHRESTHA
Feburary 1 – April 5
Ritual and Devotion focuses on Nepali-born, Boston-based artist Sneha Shrestha (b. 1987 – ) who is known for her bold, calligraphic, and colorful presentation of the Nepali alphabet in Devanagari script. Her work draws from Sanskrit scriptures; mantras, sacred sounds or syllables used in meditation and prayer; and American graffiti handstyles that harmoniously come together to reflect her multifaceted identity and celebrate her cultural heritage. This exhibition looks at how Shrestha interprets acts of ritual and devotion and what they can come to mean through various themes including of home, identity, immigration, ancestry, customs, and legacy, as well as the actual process of creating her large- scale and monumental paintings.
