Tarini Sethi

B. 1989 in New Delhi, India
Exclusively represented in India

Tarini Sethi is a contemporary artist whose practice delves into themes of intimacy, sexuality, and mythology. Drawing inspiration from folklore and traditional Indian art forms like Kalighat, Miniature painting, Kavad, and Tholu Bommalata, Sethi constructs dreamlike worlds through a multimedia approach, including painting, drawing, and metal sculpture. Her works have been featured in Architectural Digest India and showcased at events like the Mumbai Urban Arts Festival.

 

Sethi’s art navigates complex realities, addressing mental health, political skepticism, and environmental concerns. Her subjects—hybrid beings that blur the lines between human and animal—inhabit intricate, labyrinthine spaces. These figures explore emotions and interactions, challenging societal norms around gender, beauty, and identity. As an Indian woman confronting issues of scrutiny and sexual oppression, Sethi’s work centers on bodies as vessels for agency and liberation. Her creations envision a utopian space where traditional boundaries dissolve, inviting freedom and transformation.
