What do the Signs say?
8 Nov 2012 3:34 AM IST
Shola Carletti’s works are distinguished by her trademark interesting mix of art, design and fashion in multimedia. Her new exhibition, titled Signs, consists of artworks with shimmering gold layers in varied forms and sizes, seems to have drawn some of its inspiration from Andy Warhol though there are also markers in its abstraction of her interest in meditation.
It was her work as art director of Italian magazine Osho Times that kindled a spiritual bent in her mind. And she came to the Osho meditation resort at Pune, some 16 years ago and fell in love with the country, the city and its people so much that she decided to make it her main base.
Meditative but also opulent, her abstraction appears with layered textures in a rich and joyful palette that adorns several private and public spaces. Her sculptures, mostly in fibre glass, are more like wall installations and she is increasingly experimenting with digital work in her paintings too.
Most of Shola’s work is marked by a predominant use of a distinct colour with a liberal use of gold.
Exhibited extensively in solo and group shows in her home country Italy and here in India. her works have also been exhibited in Dubai.
A painter, sculptor, and graphic designer, Shola apart from creating her own art works also collaborates with architects, interior designers and corporate communication experts to create logos, web designs, and publications.
