Priya Janghu
Canada based Indian artist, Priya Janghu utilises her contemporary practice to develop unique sculptures intricately crafted with stainless steel bolts, bronze and mixed media in multi-scaled works. Engaging with relationships and symbolism found in Hindu mythology, Priya uses a laborious technique of welding each individual bolt to one another using Argon gas with the subject of the human figure as the focus throughout her practice.
Her works involve beings in nature that are relevant to Hindu gods and emblems such as elephants, bulls and spiritual figures. Her multidisciplinary works range from life-sized to miniature sculptures to showcase varying impressions of her concepts and ideas that heighten the centralised relationships between society, human behaviour and her respective natural and spiritual environment.
She has participated in various art shows as well as being featured in Casa, Vogue India 2015 and 2016. She is also a part of the 'GajYatra' project 2018 by Wild Life Trust of India.
"Though my medium of art changed yet one thing remained intact, I created artwork which are contemporary and inspired from my current society and its people, animals and nature. Concept remained very new. I create art which is an extension of my people and my society. "
