The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
Aristotle,
Metaphysica

Life being a sum of memories, experiences and expectations. The past, the present and the future put together form the muscle and mind of a human existence.

Together these milestones endured, or to be endured make up a story that seems to be the overarching reality.

The fragments of happenings, emotional and physical when amalgamated together tell stories powerful and weak, ecstatic and solemn, emotional and detached. These all, many a time tell the story of mankind through creation and thought.

Using this premise as a central theme we have conceptualized the show 2 + 2 = 5 (when the sum is greater than its parts).

Through this show we attempt at putting together an artist's thoughts through many hues and mediums. And while the thoughts will be myriad and numerous, the permutations and combinations of their physical manifestations melded together would be greater than each individual idea and thus more impactful.

We invite you to work in small formats, many multiples culminating into one single work in your signature style.

And each piece though executed in many parts both small and big or in varied sizes, but altogether will amount to a larger sum, when viewed as a composite whole.
