Sneha Lakhotia

Sneha Lakhotia pursued BFA in Painting from College of Arts, New Delhi, 2019 and MVA in Painting from The Maharaja Sayajirao University, Baroda in 2023. Her work was part of a group show at Earl Lu Gallery, Singapore, 2023, Kochi-Muziris Student's Biennale in 2023, and a mobile exhibition as part of the Project Equilibrium organized by Sandarbh Residency in Partapur, Rajasthan, 2023.
A recipient of a gold medal for her academic excellence in the MVA program, she has been an artist-in-residence at Sandarbh Art Residency program, 2023, and international art camp in LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore, 2023.
She likes to call herself a storyteller and believes that one way of dealing with absurdity in life is through humor. Her works are experimental and research-oriented while at the same time being light, playful, and participatory. The works have subtle underlayers that stem from her practice of writing, drawing, reading, and building associations with the place, people, and objects around her. The bucket becomes a monster, the lone chair cries to get used, the antennas fight over the death of a sparrow, the fan keeps circling, and the tap keeps trickling forever. She is intrigued by something as banal as the idea of sleep, with its underlying complexities, and has worked in different formats such as DIY, installation, and an interactive game.
