In Varunika Saraf's The Map of Pain, a watercolour on paper work completed in 2017, the artist marks traumatic events in a manner that is reminiscent of Botticelli's vision of hell. An angel, much like Paul Klee's monoprint, Angelus Novus, falls into the pit. Saraf's work is part of an exhibition curated by art critic Meera Menezes, where artists take on the role of cartographer as they map times, spaces, human bodies, histories and even memories.
