Work
Kartik Sood works across, and often mixes, various mediums such as paintings, photo collages, video installations, and assemblages, disregarding the limitations of genre or medium.[6] At the heart of Sood's body of work lies the exploration of meaning-making, where he skillfully blurs the fine line between reality, memory, and imagination, adding depth and richness to his artistic expressions.[7]
Sood's painted collages delve into the intangible intricacies of human experience, reflecting his fascination with the superficial, the application of color, and a playful sense of mischief. In these works, individuals often take center stage, enveloped in a pervasive sense of stillness and seclusion, as they contemplate their surroundings.
Additionally, Sood's time-based artworks obsessively reimagine lived experiences with a touch of wonder, resisting narrative linearity and offering open spaces for conversation.[8] His art takes viewers on a captivating journey through an unknown yet familiar world, evoking curiosity and hinting at the complexities of navigating within a sometimes paralyzing social and political structure.[9]
