Pyaari Azaadi’s work exemplifies a fusion of fierce intellect and feminine strength, inheriting the artistic spark from historical revolutionaries. With a solo exhibition at Pen + Brush, her art is showcased alongside insights from contemporary thinkers. Azaadi's creations blend vibrant Indian iconography with elements from the South Asian diaspora and feminist themes. She pushes boundaries, utilizing the concept of Rasa to evoke deep emotional connections through her art, which is characterized by tactile materials like gold leaf and resin. Joy is portrayed as an essential and deliberate act in her compositions.
"Azaadi inherits that spark and tempers it into a jewelled scimitar of intellect and unapologetic feminine will."
"Critics have tried to corral her with single nouns. Painter. Curator. Agitator. Each word slips off like rain from lacquered brass."
