Cost: Free
In an age where ceremony is dictated by the undertones of modern culture, the exhibition Gypsy Bride by Raziah Roushan asks the viewer to re-examine the heart of matrimony.
In a series of oil paintings presented as a cubist exploration, Roushan juxtaposes iconographic symbols of white picket fences, blown-out candles, turning cogs, and toads alongside lanky bride-inspired figures to weave into each painting the series’ inspiration -- “What is the real cost of marriage? Not the financial cost, but the compromise given or gained by the commitment. What is the life cost of being in a committed relationship?”
Exhibit runs August 15 to September 26.
