Sassoon Dock Painting

Clemens Behr is a multimedia artist, who began experimenting with scrap material 10 years ago to make three dimensional collages that revive context through site specific materials. “I like using locally sourced materials, that are mostly from construction sites and can be recycled through carpentry”, explains the artist. Ever since, he has created installations that not only shape themselves according to the infrastructure of the space he works in but also its cultural ecosystem.

The artist’s project at Sassoon Dock is no different. By using fabrics and other key elements from the city’s nooks, Behr weaves into artworks that are a reflection of his nuanced aesthetic. Within the warehouse, the artist creates the effect of Mumbai’s paradoxical skyline. While on the outside, he puts together a facade that is an amalgamation of constructed and deconstructed structures.
