Anu Jindal’s current creative expression is deeply rooted in the investigation and visual interpretation of nature and being, the interweaving of natural elements with urban life, of habitat and human synergy, environment and climate change. The multiplicity of existence, the relationship of environment and psyche of humans, the giver and the taker, the profound and the facile.... visualized through mindscapes.

Jindal’s artworks draw attention to the present and future of planet earth and its environment - the beautiful and the threatened. Humanity’s continued and increasing carbon footprint is causing concern to some, while others remain insulated. Planet earth’s bounty would appear to be boundless but humans insatiable consumption is proving otherwise. The ubiquitous plastic remains an integral part of our lives. Emissions of greenhouse gases pervade our atmosphere. Permafrost is thawing, oceans are rising, pushing biodiversity towards extinction. Is there a way out, or will we remain mesmerized in a maze. The artist questions “whither next?” through paintings, mixed media & installations.
