A Sculptural Garden Rooted in Poetry and Resistance
Wolf Jaipur, the artist duo of Ritu and Surya Singh, will present “Gul,” a sculptural exhibition reimagining the traditional Mughal char bagh (four-part garden) as a site of refuge and resistance.
Concept and Inspiration
The exhibition reflects on themes of renewal amidst loss and the persistence of life through care and creation. Drawing from Mughal garden architecture and miniature painting traditions, “Gul” addresses ecological grieving while celebrating resilience. At its core, the show invokes 18th-century poet Mir Taqi Mir, whose verses on beauty, sorrow, and endurance are interwoven throughout the sculptural works.
Featured Works
The exhibition includes several notable installations:
- Four Altars: Constructed from reconfigured chair parts, these sculptures comment on the dismantling of traditional power structures
- Wall Piece: A large-scale work inspired by the miniature painting “Maharaja Savant Singh’s Tears Irrigate The Garden Of His Poetry,” incorporating Mir Taqi Mir’s poetry
- Dragon Fountain: Created using recycled metal scrap
- Humayun’s Tomb Series: A collection of 33 works inspired by the historic monument
