| Artist: Alka Rode |
Bringing a distinct artistic experience to viewers and art lovers alike, artist Alka Rode presents ‘Thread Story’ – a unique exhibition of fabric-based compositions. A graphic designer and artist based in Pune, Alka has moved beyond conventional mediums to create a unique visual language using pieces of fabric and running stitches. Her work stands apart in both concept and form. The central strength of this exhibition lies in the clarity and depth of its theme. The essence of womanhood is at the heart of her work — portrayed in diverse forms, from divine to contemporary. These interpretations are visually captivating.
The exhibition also includes abstract compositions, where the careful selection of fabric, textures, and color combinations reflect her design sensibility and experience. By connecting fragments with running stitches, she has created an expressive series where each artwork becomes a composition, a conversation, or a story. These threads carry meaning and seem to establish a dialogue with the viewer. Her thoughtful use of design principles and bold yet balanced arrangements make this exhibition both visually striking and thought-provoking.
The exhibition is not only aesthetically rich but also significant as an exploration of new paths in visual expression. Art lovers and media are warmly invited to experience it. Alka is a professional artist with a focus on creating narrative artworks. She has formal education in G.D. Art, Art Teacher Diploma, and an M.A. in Fine Arts. She also runs her own art gallery. Notably, she is also active as an Urban Sketcher.
This show will be inaugurated on 13th May 2025 at 4pm by distinguished Design Educator and Calligrapher Hon. Dr. Santosh Kshirsagar former Dean of J.J. institute of Applied of Art, Mumbai
