Princess Pea (performance artist)
Princess Pea is an anonymous Gurgaon-based visual and performance artist.[1][2] Identified by her large anime head, she pops up in various public places and events (such as art fairs), asking society to raise questions about identity and self-worth.[3][4] She broke into the art scene in 2009 with her solo at the India Art Fair.[5][6]
Collaborations[edit]
In 2016 at the India Art Fair, she launched a limited edition of Etikopakka toys, made using soft wood and lacquer in the village of Etikoppaka.[7][8][9]
Fashion brand Pero by fashion designer Aneeth Arora collaborated with the artist for Atlanta International Fashion Week in 2015.[10] The association highlights the alter ego by creating Princess Pea costumes.[11] She walked the ramp for the Lakme Fashion Week (summer/resort 2018).[12][13]
Vague series by Princess Pea brings out digitally manipulated magazine covers in a satirical attempt.[14]
Proxies by Princess Pea, in collaboration with Architectural Digest (Art Issue 2017) were a three-act play of performing life.[15][16]
