Anjolie Ela Menon
Gayatri Sinha says of Anjolie Ela Menon that -“Her panoply of figures, as they appear, signify non-space and non-time…Like a wanton fabulist, Menon brings accretion, division, conjunction to play upon the conventional image…. Menon insists on the location of the past in the present. Her painting argues against cultural amnesia.' Indeed Anjolie Ela Menon transcends the barriers of past and present with remarkable and almost poetic ease. Menon in her paintings creates an India, which is rich and colorful, and yet questioning of the static state of equation. Her work has garnered unanimous respect from different art circles of the world.
