Artville Contemporary Artist Of The Day
Atul Dodiya
Title: Woman from Kabul
Year: 2001
Medium: Acrylic and marble dust on fabric
Size: 183 x 122 cm
Woman from Kabul is a work about living in Afghanistan at the turn of the new millennium. The artist recalls a country rich in history and resources that has collapsed under the weight of war. A figure of an elderly woman, stripped of most of her black burka, squats over a very decorative backdrop of wall paper. Her body is revealed as skin and bones, representative of the oppression and squalor that has become endemic of the city. Dodiya’s work is a potent reminder of the plight of the refugee.
