India Art Fair: Women Artists Bring Erasure To Centre Stage

The Female Perspective

Born in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, Pallavi Singh was always bothered by the perception of “beauty and grooming” specifically as a female trait. Her portraits, a part of her ‘The Bather’ series, depict men preening and brushing their hair in front of a mirror. These men have a candid, soft, sensual demeanour. “Whenever we think of beauty or bathing, we only think of women because all imagery around it depicts women, usually painted or created by men. With this series, I have tried to invert the male gaze by depicting how a man in his intimate moments might look like when seen by a woman,” she states.
