Shabs Beigh: Mumbai Exhibition

My first exhibition of 2020 will be held in central Mumbai, India at the Nine Fish Gallery on 14th January. This holds a special significance, as my first ever exhibition was held in Delhi at ANZ Grindlays bank in New Delhi, India 25 years ago.

I visited Mumbai two years ago to see the performance of a close actor friend. I designed two posters for his production house — Ambal productions, and on the night I went to watch the play I was asked by the theatre production house that my friend owns to introduce the play to the audience (and I did). This exhibition has come about through that work.

The Nine Fish Gallery has an amazing collection of antiques and art works, including the Howdah (elephant seat) that Elizabeth sat on when she rode an elephant on her visit to India. The gallery itself is located within the charming precincts of a historic textile mill in Central Mumbai. The curators of the gallery display a range of genres — painting, printmaking, sculpture, installation, photography, video, documentary practice, performance and new media.

I’m excited for my first exhibition of the year, and have been preparing some new artworks to exhibit including The Bison Rut and Bison And A Magpie. I will be showing a mix of works from my bulls and bison series.
