Shubha Taparia: Crescent

‘Shubha Taparia’s work is a state of mind. One that reflects the ever-changing nature of all things, and it does so with the awareness that there is always a permanence in the intrinsic transience of matter. With the exuberance of a gifted child, the artist gathers inorganic and apparently forgotten objects from industrial landscapes and presents us with their utterly poetic significance and beauty’. (Nicoletta Lambertucci)
