Anikesa Dhing was born in Udaipur, and lives and works in Vadodara. She graduated from MS University, Vadodara with an undergraduate and postgraduate degree in Fine Arts. The artist uses a vibrant range of colours and lines which resonate with a “‘pop”’ visual vocabulary that lie between the disciplines of fine art and design.
Anikesa’s practice focuses on a renewed relationship with the material world through aspects of knowledge, perception and memory. With overwhelming visuals and scale, she tries to induce a sense of uncertainty to what we think is ‘known.’ Through such works, Anikesa talks about the sentimental tendencies materialism holds, and the transactional values of the object-oriented universe. The visual bombardment of images present in her work mimics the anxiety of transitoriness and desire in a manner that narrates the story of an object as a prime protagonist.
