Tayyab Hussain is a multidisciplinary artist. He completed his Bachelor’s Degree from Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh and his Master’s Degree from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. In the early years of his academic practice Tayyab consciously drew inspiration from theories of Sigmund Freud and other psychoanalysts and incorporated his own symbols and motifs to create a unique vocabulary for dialogue and expression. He boosts his practice by consuming contexts and references from language, culture, art history, domestic spaces and religion. His compositions are at best an enactment foregrounding the cosmic theatre of desires, taboos and inhibitions. Text is excessively used throughout his practice. He has displayed his work at several platforms including Kochi Biennale, FICA and so on. His performance pieces include ‘Bed Relation’, ‘New Thebes’, ‘Twenty Six Sculptures’, ‘Joota’, ‘Musaafah’ etc.
Reshma is a visual artist from Delhi. She has completed her studies from Jamia Millia Islamia. She works on various types of narratives. Her illustrations capture an expressionistic sense. She earlier worked on nostalgia through painting her grannies and stories from childhood.
