Neti, Neti, Nair's first solo exhibition in an American gallery includes 11 paintings on canvas and paper, with the centerpiece doubling as the title of the show. As the artist explains, Neti, Neti "literally means: not this not this or, not this not that; or, neither this nor that. Yagjavalkya, the Upanishadic philosopher employed this particular approach of apophasis to describe the nature of the absolute, the Brahman, or God, the Supreme Being, when he was asked to do so by his students."
