Akshita Gandhi
Akshita Gandhi (India, 1988) is a Mumbai-based photographer and multimedia artist. Gandhi manipulates her images by painting over them, working digitally with repetition and distortion, and collaging to study obscurity/perceptibility and construction/ deconstruction, broadening the boundaries of the photographic medium.
Gandhi has an MFA and has had her work shown in twenty-seven galleries and art fairs around Asia, Europe, India, the Middle East, and the United States. She's also worked with the United Nations Chamber of Music Society, Katerblau, a German music festival, New York designer Frank DeBourge, India's Kurtees, a fashion label, and Celesté, a premium tea brand.
