Women fighting the tigers or adorning themselves in their rich coloured skins, ‘She’ always looks to be comfortable and that’s the idea of Gogi’s art.

Gogi’s subjects do not denote a particular model but address the elephant in the room collectively. Continuing her series of works for decades, she has been as active as a nature’s weather, one goes another comes but sustains the essence and imprints the affects.
