Gardens of Song

Gardens of Song

Artists: Maya Burman

If flowers could speak and patterns could sing, Gardens of Song opens an immersive landscape where colour, form, and motion converse like voices in a chorus. This solo exhibition weaves intricate tapestries of floral and figurative motifs that draw the viewer into realms of play, rhythm, and interconnectedness. It invites you to experience art as a living garden where memory, movement, and motif unfold in visual lyricism.

Maya Burman’s work spans the last seven years of her practice and is characterized by densely patterned watercolours where everything is subordinate to floral, decorative rhythm. Her compositions marry figures in moments of play with lush natural elements, reflecting a transcultural lineage that draws on European art nouveau traditions and the vibrant heritage of eastern Indian dance and movement.

The exhibition offers a rare chance to wander through worlds that feel both dreamlike and deeply grounded in artistic craft. Visitors are invited to linger with scenes of joy, movement, and lyric wonder as patterns seem to hum with life and every surface resonates like a garden in bloom.
