For an artist whom this writer has briefly met through a laptop screen, there’s a surprising amount of bed talk with Bhasha Chakrabarti.

When we look at paintings, we hope to uncover some secret—not about art, but about life itself. The quilts and their life-affirming moments invite this idea into the bedroom, where troubles arise and logic slips away. This theme lays the groundwork for Chakrabarti’s first solo exhibition at ExperimenterColaba, Mumbai, titled Karvat (on view until December 20), which includes a paper quilt, paintings, found furniture, brass, candles, and vintage linen kitchen towels.
