Mannat Gandotra
Ota Fine Arts is delighted to present a solo exhibition by Mannat Gandotra (b. 2001, India), an emerging painter currently based in the UK. Gandotra completed an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art, London, in 2024.
Her dynamic compositional structures of line, charged with energy through colours, and forms, stem from an interest in Jazz and the concept of atonality. Atonal music rejects hierarchical tonal structures, allowing chords and harmonies to emerge unexpectedly within a progression. Echoing this principle, Gandotra’s lines vary between straight, curved, and fractured; unexpected colour combinations coexist side by side, and the elements clash and bounce off one another, yet sit together in a dissonant atmosphere. Amidst an increasingly complex political, social, and cultural landscape, Gandotra’s practice embodies a new context for abstract painting—one that does not rely on figurative motifs or narratives, but instead transforms emotional sensibility into a spiritual language.
