Painter Dharani Bay draws from art historical, mythological, and cultural sources to produce contemporary depictions of figurative archetypes. She studied under François Boisrond at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and has exhibited throughout Europe. Characters like the harlequin, the odalisque, the boxer, the flute player, and the bather repeatedly appear throughout Bay’s work, translating a common visual language into her own unique vocabulary. She renders her figures with bold lines and thin coats of paint and sets them against opaque backgrounds. Their identities are usually revealed by poses and postures, instead of by clothing or other signifying features. Bay’s figures fill her often large-scale paintings, their bodies sometimes spilling out beyond the canvases.
