The dimensions, the physical ones, are often missed amid the finer, more abstract details, but sometimes, it has a far larger role to play. Take for instance, 'Size Matters or Does It,' an exhibition that wants to 'figure' out the beauty of miniature forms vis-u00e0-vis larger ones.u00a0 The big and small of it The show, through various sizes, focusses on the relevance of dimensions. Each participating artist has contributed two worksu00a0-- a very large work, juxtaposed with a small-format work. Those who've opened themselves to the aesthetic experimentation are Arunkumar HG, Baiju Parthan, Chittrovanu Mazumdar, Dilip Chobisa, G R Iranna, Jayshree Chakravarty, Manjunath Kamath, Pooja Iranna, Pushpamala N, Sarnath Banerjee, Prajakta Palav and Siddhartha Kararwal, to name a few. Clay play and more Among the various creations that will be displayed, those noteworthy are Arunkumar's work, titled 'Does Size Matter,' made from clay wood and plastic gears.

Baiju Parthan subverts the idea of fixed measurements with the microscopic details of a fly in his twin works, titled Ointment. You need it. Size Matters or Does It?
