SATHI GUIN

Akara Contemporary

1979

Sathi Guin describes her works as a reflection of her dreams and emotions- they are neither metaphysical nor symbolic, but purely experiential. Her monochromatic works are rich, complex, and an epicenter of both the universe's truth, but also her reality. The curves, arches, swirls, and webs of linear abstract forms explore the concept of time and the stillness of the physical world around us. They are notations of fragility and disregard experiences of everyday life. For Guin, the act of performing live, time and again became synonymous with the process of making art. She calls them the lines of her hand - illustrating her present, past, and future. Using extra-fine brushwork, Guin works with watercolour and acrylic to reveal a sense of harmony between the structured chaos within her art.

Currently based in Vadodara, Sathi Guin's paintings help her explore her opinion of "self" in a world that expects women to host multiple identities. She completed her B.V.A and M.V.A in Painting from the Rabindra Bharati University in Kolkata.

Sathi Guin is one of the contemporary artists represented by Akara and her first solo exhibition with the gallery, ‘Portraits of Intimacy’ was hosted in 2022. She lives and works in Vadodara.
