Bone Marrow to Butterfly: Paintings, Sculptures, and Installations

Bone Marrow to Butterfly: Paintings, Sculptures, and Installations showcases Phaneendra Nath Chaturvedi’s engagement with life— detailing his emotions, struggles, and triumphs—through art works in every dimension and marks a significant chapter in his artistic journey. Including works created by Chaturvedi between 2018 and 2024, this collection uses the monarch butterfly as a leitmotif and explores the transformations we undergo as we navigate life’s challenges. This collection has been shaped by the artist’s exploration, introspection, and constant desire to bridge the realms of imagination and reality. Taken together, the art works in the book help us appreciate Chaturvedi’s extraordinary ability as an artist, his use of form, material, texture, colour, and dimension, and invite us to reflect on the profound transformations that shape our lives.
