VINEET KACKER

‘

My work is inspired primarily by the landscape, art and iconography of the Himalayas. It pays homage to the phenomenon of street shrines, where associations of faith, often contested, have the ability to transform the meaning of ordinary objects. In my work ancient texts, icons and imagery are re- mixed and re-contextualized into new visual works that are symbolic without being derivative, accessible without being populist. The works question the per- ceived boundaries between Spirit and Matter, nego- tiating along the way a dialogue between the sacred and the profane, the timeless and the contemporary, the eastern and the western.
