Arpana was in Kerala 22 years ago and then, more recently, to draw on the Millennium Canvas, the longest in the world, that was unfurled in Kozhikode. Kerala has been a literary draw for Arpana ever since she first came here. “Every one wants to come here once in a life time,” declares the Delhi-based artist, soaking in the waterfront images of Kochi. Her show, ‘Painting Is Not Dead’ opened at Gallery OED in Mattancherry earlier this week.

Here in Kerala, she is revealing in the beauty of the land. “When I go back I will remember that black boat and the water… the magic of Kerala. The moment will stand out like a gem,” she says looking at the simmering water. The show ‘Painting Is Not Dead’ hosted by Gallery Veda, Chennai, and will conclude on March 23.
