Distracted by the frenzy of today¡¯s hyper-connected world, many of us can easily overlook the everyday incidents that encourage smiles or offer simple affirmations of life being lived.
The India-born artist N.S. Harsha, however, thrives on such observations. As his solo exhibition at the Mori Art Museum demonstrates, Harsha¡¯s work celebrates such moments in all their wonder, ambiguity and, at times, absurdity.
¡°N.S. Harsha: Charming Journey¡± is a step forward in the Mori Art Museum¡¯s efforts, following its 2008-9 group show ¡°Chalo India,¡± to familiarize the Japanese public with contemporary art from the Indian subcontinent. With more than 75 of Harsha¡¯s major works ¡ª mainly paintings ¡ª the exhibition provides a comprehensive introduction to the artist¡¯s career.
