Painted Stories by Anurendra Jegadeva is the artist\u2019s first solo exhibition since his return from Australia in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition, which gathers nearly twenty new works on canvas with paper from the past year, finds the artist still baffled about the world around him.<\/p>\n<p>Addicted to news, sitcoms, reality TV and pulp fiction, the artist references the world around him in his paintings, touching on a broad range of issues as if he were surfing channels.<br \/>\nFrom Tibet to detention without trial; from Punjabi love songs to the recent general elections in March; from vampire brides to little girls with their dogs, the artist has used a mix of nostalgia and romanticism tinged with an enjoyable dose of cynicism to tell his stories.<br \/>\nLove is merely their back-drop\u2026 love\u2019s conditions are much more interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Conditional Love sees a departure from his predisposition to the organized picture planes within the brightly colored, luscious canvases of his previous works.<br \/>\nWith the new works, through individual works as well as assemblages, the artist has found a complimentary aesthetic in the works on paper as well in his artist books.<\/p>\n<p>In August, Anurendra Jegadeva holds his fourth solo exhibition entitled, Conditional Love-Painted Stories by Anurendra Jegadeva at Wei-Ling Gallery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-a04e9a999f2af535624a76d569713c2e hr-short  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr  hr-center '><span
