‘Shocking? It’s only what you see in ancient temples’: painter T Venkanna on his joyous carnivals of copulation

T Venkanna, an Indian painter known for his sexually explicit and mythologically-infused works, is the subject of his first institutional solo show. The exhibition features an altarpiece shaped like a juvenile phallus, populated with scenes of graphic copulation, including figures from Hindu mythology and Adam and Eve. Venkanna draws inspiration from ancient Indian temple sculptures, which he says depict similar acts, and his work challenges the disparity between puritanical religious doctrine and licentious reality. The artist, who grew up as the son of a Hindu priest, has faced death threats and accusations of blasphemy in India for his provocative imagery.

One Fine Show: “Beyond Mysticism, The Modern Northwest” at the Seattle Art Museum

A new exhibition at the Seattle Art Museum, “Beyond Mysticism: The Modern Northwest,” reexamines the legacy of a 1953 LIFE magazine feature that anointed four Seattle artists—Mark Tobey, Morris Graves, Kenneth Callahan, and Guy Anderson—as the faces of a distinct regional Modernism. The show expands the original narrative by including Asian artists like Kamekichi Tokita, whose work challenges the magazine's oversimplified framing, and features 150 works across painting, drawing, photography, and sculpture. It also connects the movement to Abstract Expressionism and contemporary environmental concerns, pairing pieces by artists such as Malcolm Roberts with works by Salvador Dalí and Georgia O'Keeffe.
