“Arrows-17” by Aparna Anil, mixed media on canvas, 76 x 56 cm, 2000
For Aparna Anil of Gwalior her arrow-like kites are a representation of energy and direction. The energy of the red kites, clear from their zigzagging tails, are contrasted with the powerless, falling grey ones in the background. “Likewise, energetic beings seek freedom and go far,” says Aparna. Kites are a common feature for Makar Sankranti this month. In Ahmedabad, there is the spectacular annual international kite festival from January 10 to 14.
