To glance -- or better still, dance -- through the kaleidoscopic pages of Tangerine Trees & Marmalade Skies is to understand the impulses and inspirations of an Indian artist with a rare universal spirit. Trishla Jain is not an heiress with a penchant for paint; she is an artist who is seriously joyous, whose every canvas and installation echoes the bestselling American poetess Mary Oliver s words, "My work is loving the world". Trishla s world is one of colour, chaos and quirkiness, but also of serenity, silences and meditative what ifs . It is a world where words and paint conspire to formulate her messages, some naughty, some nice. That is why the catalogue needs no commentary other than the artist s own foreward, before making the reader -- or, rather viewer, set off on a merry dance through the neonlit landscape of Trishla s memories. The multifaceted Gloria Vanderbilt once said, "One of the goals of life is to try and be in touch with one s most personal themes -- the values, ideas, styles, colours that are the touchstone of one s individual life, its real texture and substance. This superbly produced catalogue of Trishla s work, replete with quotes, collages and coercive imagery, honestly captures her personal zeitgeist.
