You can't see them, You can't feel them II, 2024

In his new series of watercolours, Vivek VC draws on the tales told by his grandmother, weaving them together with motifs borrowed from Mughal and Persian miniatures. Figures and animals move through his compositions as if half-remembered, their presence more suggestive than explanatory, creating fragmented storylines that remain deliberately unresolved. The use of a pared-down colour palette intensifies this effect, evoking a dreamlike atmosphere where clarity gives way to uncertainty, and memory slips into imagination. This tension reflects the larger arc of Vivek’s practice, which consistently lingers on the spaces between order and chaos, reality and recollection. While grounded in photographs, objects, and lived memories from his upbringing in Kerala, his works resist closure, instead embracing contradiction and ambiguity. They invite viewers to enter an open field of interpretation, where meaning is fluid and unfinished—much like the stories that echo long after childhood, haunting us precisely because they remain incomplete.
