NASREEN MOHAMEDI (1937-1990)

Nasreens work, founded on absence, is about the self. That through a series of displacements she touches and transcends death, but that the insistently elided questions about the self are precisely such that offer up meaning in her work. That she is therefore within a great lineage of metaphysical abstraction in a way that no other Indian artist is.
