Enchanting New Light Box Dioramas by Hari & Deepti Tell Stories of Exploration, Travel and Adventure
It’s been over a year since we last checked in with artist duo Deepti Nair and Harikrishnan Panicker of Hari & Deepti, who construct elegantly cut paper dioramas inside backlit light boxes. The medium is perfect for depicting the depth of thick forests, pools of water, or subterranean caves inhabited by spirits and fantastic creatures.
Over the last year Hari & Deepti relocated from Denver to Mumbai where they just completed work for their first European show at Blank Space Gallery in Oslo titled ‘We Are All Made of Stars.’ Like previous exhibitions the event was held in a darkened gallery with the only light emitted from their artwork to better emphasize the themes of travel and adventure depicted in their light boxes.
Keep an eye out for new works in December at Context Art Miami with Black Book Gallery. You can also see more on Instagram.
