Career
Career
Gargi was awarded the 2002 Residency at Taipei Artists Village in Taiwan. She has also participated in Lo Real Maravilloso: Marvelous Reality, 20 Year Celebration of Gallery Espace at Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi, 2009. She uses gouache and dry pastels on paper and wood, and works in sequences which follow a narrative, linear in the way it reads but elastic in the way that it enables the user to comprehend and examine the artwork. She says, "I've been working with the idea of stretching time. It's like seeing something in slow motion or looking at one thing and stretching that time, being able to go backwards and forwards and doing it at a very, very slow pace. I think that has been very crucial to a lot of the work that I have been doing recently." She has conducted several workshops in Gorlesborg, Sweden, the Max Mueller Bhawan in Chennai, the Khoj International Artists Workshop in Modinagar and Srinagar, South Asian Women's Peace Workshop in Lahore, Pakistan organised by Salima Hashmi and workshop at Zenana Mahal in Udaipur Palace in Rajasthan. She works and lives in Vadodara, Gujarat.
