from Punjabi love songs to the recent general elections in March; from vampire brides to little girls with their dogs, the artist has used a mix of nostalgia and romanticism tinged with an enjoyable dose of cynicism to tell his stories.<br \/>\nLove is merely their back-drop\u2026 love\u2019s conditions are much more interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Conditional Love sees a departure from his predisposition to the organized picture planes within the brightly colored, luscious canvases of his previous works.<br \/>\nWith the new works, through individual works as well as assemblages, the artist has found a complimentary aesthetic in the works on paper as well in his artist books.<\/p>\n<p>In August, Anurendra Jegadeva holds his fourth solo exhibition entitled, Conditional Love-Painted Stories by Anurendra Jegadeva at Wei-Ling Gallery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-a04e9a999f2af535624a76d569713c2e hr-short  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_hr  hr-center '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031{\nheight:35px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-9a4b51fdc01b8b13bd201ffe5054f031 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock  '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Read catalogue essay by Eddin Khoo\" href=\"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/portfolio-item\/read-catalogue-essay-by-eddin-khoo\/\"><strong>Read catalogue essay by Eddin Khoo<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestar.com.my\/story\/?file=%2f2008%2f8%2f31%2flifearts%2f1916344&amp;sec=lifearts\"><strong>Love, politics and humour by Andrew Sia<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Cover story: Strokes of Life\" href=\"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/portfolio-item\/cover-story-strokes-of-life\/\"><strong>Cover story: Strokes of Life<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Love on Canvas by Dennis Chua\" href=\"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/portfolio-item\/love-on-canvas-by-dennis-chua\/\"><strong>Love on Canvas by Dennis Chua<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a title=\"Paintings that tell a story by Priya Menon\" href=\"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/portfolio-item\/paintings-that-tell-a-story-by-priya-menon\/\"><strong>Paintings that tell a story by Priya Menon<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/9ArtFocus_001.pdf\"><strong>Art Focus, KL Lifestyle, September 2008<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aaa.org.hk\/WorldEvents\/Details\/10913\"><strong>Asia Art Archive<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artmonthly.org.au\/artnotes.asp?aID=2&amp;issueNumber=212\"><strong>Art Monthly Australia Issue 212, August 2008<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Interview with the artist (Parts I-X)<\/strong><br \/>\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dcy-nJIGGxY\"><strong>Part I<\/strong><\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=i6aNxQ1wHkA\"><strong>Part II<\/strong><\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sxZdd1bOYBQ\"><strong>Part III<\/strong><\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_QVdWQlth8o\"><strong>Part IV<\/strong><\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dg5r1H17GD8\"><strong>Part V<\/strong><\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Qomc1x4A7DE\"><strong>Part VI<\/strong><\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=K2Cr1xf0zww\"><strong>Part VII<\/strong><\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AvYqiOn1QqY\"><strong>Part VIII<\/strong><\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fTEK2_UYIM8\"><strong>Part IX<\/strong><\/a><\/em><br \/>\n<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=i1GCCPAj1TA\"><strong>Part X<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CuRRENT\u00a0|\u00a0PAST works\u00a0|\u00a0press release Conditional Love Painted Stories by Anurendra Jegadeva Conditional Love, Painted Stories by Anurendra Jegadeva is the artist\u2019s first solo exhibition since his return from Australia in 2005.
