Australia : Exposition “Forms of Vishnu “
last days! until Monday 5 October
Forms of Vishnu at the Art Gallery of New South Wales
Exclusive to Sydney, this captivating exhibition celebrates Vishnu, the Hindu deity who preserves order in the universe, through nearly 200 exceptional works spanning fifteen centuries of South and Southeast Asian art and storytelling. It is the first major exhibition in Australia dedicated to Vishnu.
Avatar, meaning ‘descent’ in Sanskrit, describes the many forms Vishnu takes to descend from the heavens to restore balance on earth. In sculpture, painting, textiles and photographs, the exhibition traces the ways artists have envisioned Vishnu’s various avatars, including Matsya the fish, Kurma the tortoise, the beloved Krishna, the noble prince Rāma, and Kalki, the future avatar who will bring renewal.
