Jiten Thukral & Sumir Tagra — Somnium Genero -Self

Somnium Genero -Self

A luminous and meticulously rendered oil painting on metal, Somnium Genero - Self by Jiten Thukral and Sumir Tagra merges the duo's signature blend of pop sensibility and philosophical inquiry. The reflective metal substrate lends the work an almost otherworldly sheen, amplifying the dreamlike quality suggested by the title's reference to the generation of dreams. Through their collaborative practice, Thukral and Tagra probe the boundaries of identity and self-construction, inviting viewers to consider the fluid and constructed nature of the self.
