Time. She can range from an infinitesimal second to an immeasurable eternity. Her immortality knows no bounds. Join us as we unveil Naynaa Kanodia’s latest show “The Journey of Life”, an exhibit quintessentially Kanodia in its peculiarities and idiosyncrasies. As the mythical interpretation of the world gets supplanted by a conceptual one, the simultaneous divorce and combination of myth, satire and irony makes “The Journey of Life” a hard-to-believe, yet palpable endeavour. Kanodia’s histrionics of our culture’s paradoxical values of material success and self-transcendence make for an intriguing, riveting hard-to-miss performance.

Nayanaa Kanodia pioneered Naif L’Art in India, a genre till then unseen and unheard of in India in a contemporary context. In 1998 she was chosen from among artists of all The Commonwealth Countries by The Common wealth Institute to have a Solo Show to inaugurate their newly renovated Complex in London.

She has participated in innumerable group shows nationally and internationally.Nayanaa is the first Indian of non-British origin whose works are in the collection of the ‘Paintings in Hospitals’, UK previously named as British Museum. She has conducted Art Camps/Workshops in India and abroad. Looking at the contribution she has made to L’Art Naïve , she was invited by Victoria and Albert Museum, London in 2001 to demonstrate her painting techniques in this prestigious Museum and also exhibit her paintings. Besides this, she is the first Indian whose paintings are in the collection of Paintings In Hospitals, which was earlier listed as a Museum. Her works are permanently displayed at Musee International D’Naif Art in Paris.
Impressed by the social messages being conveyed in her paintings, a consortium of schools in Los Altos , USA, is using her work as a medium of instruction to their students .Erica Jong, a famous author, recently acquired her work.
Her paintings feature in a recently published international book WOMEN IN ART by Reinhard Fuchs .Given that international artists have not yet fully ascended in female artists is a great honour. Underscored by her self taught education , an economist turned painter, Nayanaa Kanodia’s journey is truly incredible and a story of talent, passion and vision. She lives and works in Mumbai.
