Operating under the moniker The Oblivious Mind, Anamika is an artist based in Bangalore, India, who has carved out a unique space in the world of intuitive abstract art. Though she originally hails from Lucknow, her creative journey evolved significantly after she moved to Bangalore to pursue a career that bridged the gap between her formal training and her innate passion for visual expression. Anamika first began focusing on art as a dedicated career path during the global lockdowns of 2020, a period that allowed her to pivot from her previous professional obligations and establish her independent studio.

Education played a foundational role in her aesthetic development, as Anamika holds a degree in Architecture. While she ultimately realized her heart was not in the architectural profession, the structural influence of her studies remains visible in her work through her precise use of lines and geometric compositions. This architectural background informs the way she balances space and form, even as she moved away from rigid structures toward a more fluid, intuitive style influenced by the theories of Wassily Kandinsky. By studying Kandinsky’s principles on the spiritual nature of art, she transitioned her practice into a process-oriented exploration where the final outcome is often a surprise even to herself.

As a creator of limited edition art prints and original works, Anamika has achieved notable success in the international art market. One of her most significant accomplishments to date was a major international collaboration in August 2023, where she designed and delivered 100 handmade artworks within a single week for a project titled "Oblivious". Her portfolio is highly regarded by poster collectors for its intricate detail and vibrant use of color, especially her Composition series. Composition 75, is her latest release in the series.

Anamika’s art is defined by a rhythmic use of basic shapes, dots, and dots combined with bold acrylic and ink applications. She frequently showcases her process and new releases through digital galleries and social platforms, building a dedicated community of collectors who value the meditative quality of her "trust the process" mantra. By eschewing pre-planned sketches in favor of raw intuition, she ensures that every piece under The Oblivious Mind banner carries a distinct, unrepeatable energy that resonates with those seeking meaningful, original additions to their art collections.

Title: Cat Afloat
Medium: Digital Print
Size: 61 x 91.4 cm
Edition: UNSURE

Mandeep Pannu is a contemporary artist recognized for her intricate exploration of cultural identity, memory, and the intersection of traditional South Asian aesthetics with modern conceptualism. Her practice often delves into the complexities of the Punjabi diaspora, weaving together personal narratives with broader historical contexts. Through various mediums, including painting and mixed media, she captures the delicate balance between preserving ancestral heritage and navigating the shifting landscapes of a globalized world.

A hallmark of her work is the use of vibrant color palettes and symbolic motifs that evoke a sense of nostalgia while remaining firmly rooted in the present. She frequently employs textiles and patterns that reflect the artisanal traditions of her roots, transforming them into layered compositions that challenge viewers to reconsider their understanding of home and belonging. By integrating these classical elements into a contemporary framework, she creates a visual language that speaks to both the specificity of her own background and the universal human experience of displacement and adaptation.

Beyond the aesthetic appeal of her canvases, her art serves as a platform for social commentary, often addressing themes of gender, spirituality, and the domestic sphere. Her ability to translate deep-seated emotions into tangible forms has established her as a compelling voice in the international art community. As she continues to evolve, her work remains a testament to the power of art as a bridge between the past and the future, offering a nuanced perspective on the multifaceted nature of identity in the twenty-first century.

About SWIMMING CITIES:

Swimming Cities is a diverse group of artists, builders, and performers who come together each year and embark on a challenging large-scale project. Originally united through the international artist Swoon, the group traces its roots to the DIY raft project on the Mississippi River, the “Miss Rockaway Armada.” Taking a new waterway each year our projects create a vivid community of artists floating into towns to present an interactive environment which encompasses art, sculpture, music and performance. The uncommon talents of our members interact in an organic design process in a unique form of living art. Our previous projects include The Swimming Cities Of Switchback Sea on the Hudson River for Deitch Projects and The Swimming Cities Of Serenissima across the Adriatic Sea for the Venice Biennale.

For the Swimming Cities upcoming project, they will construct a fleet of small sculptural river craft at the foothills of the Himalayas, in a cultural exchange with local South Asian artists and artisans. The hand-crafted boats will traverse the Ganges River from Kanpur to the holy city of Varanasi stopping at towns and villages along the way to meet locals and commission crafted embellishments for the boats in the local styles. Upon arrival in Varanasi the boats will merge together into a great floating island stage. In collaboration with local artists and musicians they will produce a performance inspired by their adventure and the immense cultural history of the Ganges.
