Somnium Seminibus is Thukral & Tagra’s first solo show in Switzerland.
“Continuing our quest for dreams and reveries, Somnium Seminibus was conceived. The series revolves around exploring the idea of a journey both inwards and outwards. We have been painting dreams, always returning to a notion of space as constantly exploding, as free flowing. In between surreal bubbles and struggling with stored memories, but continuously being pumped up by aspirations”

Continuing their earlier project regarding the botanical enquires -SOMNIUM SEMINUBUS was conceived. The project is the second part of the hatching made while a visit to the botanical garden. These reveries were manifested as a costruct of a fact sketch, a derivation of what a lucid the dream would look like. The series revolves around exploring the idea of a journey both inwards and outwards. Thukral & Tagra have been painting dreams, always returning to a notion of space as constantly exploding, as free-flowing in between surreal bubbles and struggling with stored memories, but continuosly being pumped up by aspirations. The exercise started as a humble approach to illustrate the flora present in Rani Bagh, Mumbai.
