Artist Sandeep Mukherjee Plays With Movement In His Experimental Laboratory

There is nothing static about Sandeep Mukherjee’s works. The life-sized sculptural forms and acrylic paints that form a part of his exhibition, Approaching Limits—the artist’s third solo at Project 88, Mumbai—offer an immersive experience. As you move around the space, your engagement with the artwork changes. In the Parallax series, for instance, the cosmic motifs coil and recoil, while in others, the geometric patterns pulsate with energy. There is something very dynamic about Mukherjee’s new body of work, and that offers a different perspective on abstraction—making it something perceptual. In a chat with Lounge, the Los Angeles-based artist elaborates on his constant exploration of movement and materiality, and how his studio space inspires this process.
