“Chance I, II, III” is a revers painting work created by one of India’s foremost important female artist, Nalini Malani. Acclaimed for her unique interpretation of woman’s narrative, this work highlights the artist’s attempt in retelling myths and allegories from the past through her own vision. Inspired by old reverse glass painting tradition that came to India from China, this painting signifies different perspectives and stories superimposed and juxtaposed in creating a new anecdote. Drawn like looking into a Petri Dish through a microscope, Malani re-examines the patriarchal societies with her own perspective.
