Gunjan Tyagi, a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Schenectady, New York, has been selected to exhibit at Pen + Brush, one of New York's oldest nonprofit galleries, during Women's History Month. Tyagi's work spans painting, sculpture, site-specific installation, nature art, video, photography, and mixed media, often incorporating unconventional materials like cow dung and found objects to explore identity, cultural exchange, and humanity's relationship with nature. She also serves as organizer of the India chapter of the Global Nomadic Art Project and as a jury member at the Biennale of Seychelles.
This selection is significant because Pen + Brush has championed women artists and writers since 1894, long before gender equity became a mainstream concern in the arts. Being featured at such a legacy institution during Women's History Month underscores both the historical importance of the venue and the growing recognition of Tyagi's international practice, which has been exhibited in over 14 countries and positions her within a global environmental art movement.
