“FOUR VISIONS - ONE EXHIBITION” Art Exhibition by 4 renowned artists in Nehru Centre Art Gallery

Dr. D. N. Baraskar 

D. N. Baraskar’s photography discovers the extraordinary within the quiet rhythms of everyday life. His lens is drawn to the particular light of rural India—the glow of dusk over a village, a craftswoman completing her work, or boats returning beneath a changing sky. Rather than seeking spectacle, Baraskar observes with patience and reverence, revealing the dignity of labour, landscape, and human presence. 

His images possess a contemplative stillness, allowing ordinary moments to unfold naturally before the viewer. Working beyond the metropolitan gallery circuit, he brings an authentic, unhurried sensitivity to his subjects, transforming familiar scenes into evocative reflections on time, place, and memory.

Nitai Das

Nitai Das’s art emerges from India’s remarkable continuity between its epic past, living traditions, and rapidly changing present. Born in Ranir Bazaar, Tripura, and raised in a culturally rich environment, Das developed an artistic language deeply rooted in Indian heritage while remaining open to influences from the wider world. His education at Santiniketan and later professional journey with Doordarshan took him across different cultural landscapes, yet his connection with his roots remained strong.

In his recent works, mythology, spirituality, folklore, and contemporary life come together in compelling visual narratives. Images of Shiva, Ganesha, Lakshmi, Christ, Chaitanya, Pandavvani traditions, and even contemporary figures appear alongside farmers, performers, students, and travellers. Through these juxtapositions, Das explores love, conflict, faith, identity, and the complexities of modern existence.

His practice recalls the humanistic traditions of artists such as Jamini Roy, Gaganendranath Tagore, and Ramkinkar Baij. Like a modern-day patua of Tripura, Nitai Das transforms deeply local experiences into universal stories, creating art that remains authentic, rooted, and globally resonant.

Dr. Pralay Dutta 

Pralay Dutta works in a register entirely different from the figurative and photographic idioms around him at this show, his is the language of pure abstraction, built from architecture rather than anecdote. In his canvases, geometric planes of grey, white and charcoal collide with sudden eruptions of red, ochre and electric blue, as though a city had been dismantled into its constituent moods and reassembled without regard for gravity. There is something of the urban excavation in his method: blocks stacked and half erased, a horizon line broken by a black bar, colour pooling like memory in the crevices between forms.

Dutta's abstraction never entirely abandons structure, verticals and rectilinear shapes hold the composition together even as the paint itself seems to want to dissolve them. It is tempting to read in this tension something of the Indian city itself, perpetually under construction and demolition at once, its heat and dust rendered here in oxide reds and cool greys. Where the other artists in this show anchor themselves in figure and landscape, Dutta insists that emotion and place can be conveyed just as precisely through colour and form alone.

Subhash Roy 

Subhash Roy's paintings sit at the meeting point of figuration and dissolution, his subjects, usually women draped in soft fabric, emerge from and recede back into fields of wet, blended colour as if photographed mid exposure. In Unspoken Bonds, three women lean into each other, their faces softened almost to abstraction, the emotional weight of the painting carried less by expression than by proximity and posture, the unspoken bond of the title made visible simply through how close the bodies stand. In Nature's Embrace, the figure gives way almost entirely to landscape, human form and organic shape becoming indistinguishable, blues and ochres running into each other like tributaries.

Roy's technique, loose, atmospheric, willing to let the paint bleed past its own outlines, puts him closer to the lyrical abstractionists than to the hard edged colourists elsewhere in this exhibition. What holds his work together is intimacy: even at his most abstract, there is always a suggestion of touch, of bodies near each other, of feeling withheld just below the surface of the paint.

The participating artists intend to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of artworks in this exhibition towards the welfare and relief of the flood-affected people of Assam.

This show will be inaugurated on 1^st September 2026 at 5.30pm by Honourable Guests Shri. Rajendra Patil, President – The Bombay Art Society, Director - India Art Festival, Vinita Mirchandani, Owner of Studio 3 Gallery, Shri.

“PRAVAH” Solo Show of Paintings By well-known artist Anjali Prabhakar in Jehangir Art Gallery

There is a flow within us that is rarely still. It moves quietly beneath everyday life—through memory, emotion, thought, and experience. We may not always notice it, but it shapes how we feel, how we respond, and ultimately, how we see the world. It is this inner movement that forms the starting point for Pravāh, a body of work by Anjali Prabhakar. Anjali’s practice has developed alongside a deep engagement with meditation and an awareness of the energy that exists within and around us. She does not approach the canvas with a finished image in mind. Often, there is simply a feeling, a colour, or an impulse that she wants to follow. The painting then becomes a way of staying with that feeling and seeing where it takes her.

Artist: Anjali Prabhakar

The most interesting aspect of her process is that the artist does not try to explain an emotion through the painting, nor does she try to give it a fixed form. Instead, she allows herself to work intuitively, responding to what is happening on the canvas. She allows these discoveries to happen rather than forcing the painting towards a predetermined conclusion.

Colour is perhaps where the energy of these paintings is felt most immediately. Anjali responds to colour instinctively, allowing it to carry the mood of the moment rather than assigning it a fixed meaning. The deep reds, blues, and luminous passages that recur through the works can feel intense, warm, quiet, or expansive, sometimes within the same painting. They draw us in before we have had the chance to make sense of them. In that sense, colour becomes more than what we see—it becomes something we feel. Meditation, on the other hand, has also taught her the value of stillness. For her, stillness is not a withdrawal from the world, but a way of becoming more attentive to what is happening within. It is in this quieter state that she finds the space to notice subtle shifts in feeling and energy, and to allow them to enter the work without forcing them into words or fixed forms.

Pravāh is Sanskrit for flow or current—it is ultimately a meeting place. It is about the things we carry within us and the ways they shift with time. It is about allowing rather than controlling, and about recognising that not everything we experience needs to be explained in order to be felt.

Pravāh, therefore, is that meeting point—a space between stillness and movement, between what is felt and what can be expressed, between the inner world and the canvas.

“DYNAMIC DIVINE” A Group Exhibition of Sculptures by 4 renowned sculptors in Jehangir Art Gallery

 Recent sculptures made by a Renowned sculptors, Kiran Adate, Sushma Walavalkar Adate, Kiran Shigvan, Karuna Shigvan will be showcased in a group art exhibition at Jehangir Art Gallery, Auditorium Hall, Kala Ghoda, Mumbai 400 001 from 25^th to 31^st August 2026 between 11am to 7pm.

Kiran Adate – “Emotions”

Kiran Adate’s Emotions, carved by hand in black marble, explores the silent language of human connection. The intertwined figures express love, intimacy, comfort, and the profound emotional bond shared between two individuals. The sculpture’s smooth, flowing forms merge seamlessly, suggesting that emotions can transcend words, identity, and physical boundaries. The powerful darkness of black marble creates a striking contrast with the tenderness of the embrace, symbolising both strength and vulnerability. Through refined craftsmanship and expressive form, Adate transforms stone into a sensitive meditation on togetherness, affection, and the universal emotions that connect human beings beyond identity and form.

 

Sushma Walavalkar Adate – “Dynamic Dancing”

Sushma Walavalkar Adate’s Dynamic Dancing celebrates movement, rhythm, freedom, and human expression through abstract sculptural forms. Cast in bronze, the work captures the fleeting energy of dance through flowing lines, extended limbs, and expressive gestures. The forms appear to move beyond their physical boundaries, creating a powerful sense of continuous motion. The inherent strength of bronze contrasts beautifully with the delicacy and fluidity of the figures, establishing a dialogue between solidity and movement. Through abstraction, Adate transforms the language of dance into sculpture, exploring balance, energy, grace, and the rhythmic pulse of life. Her work evokes movement frozen in a timeless moment.

 

Kiran Shigvan

Kiran Shigvan’s sculptures explore the intersection of anatomical precision, restraint, and sensitivity to material. Working primarily in fibreglass and bronze, he creates human figures marked by controlled gestures and quiet psychological intensity. His sculptures often appear paused in moments of thought, contemplation, or reflection, inviting viewers to look beyond physical appearance. Fibreglass brings contemporary immediacy to his work, while bronze connects it with a longer sculptural tradition. Shigvan’s disciplined treatment of form allows material to speak without overpowering the subject. His figures embody vulnerability, fatigue, resilience, and contemplation with dignity. Through simplicity, silence, and restraint, his sculptures encourage viewers to pause, observe, and deeply engage.

Karuna Shigvan

Karuna Shigvan’s sculptures are lyrical, devotional, and deeply introspective, shaped by her engagement with feminine presence, music, mythology, and cultural memory. Her figures—often women, musicians, and dual-faced visages—represent states of being such as listening, offering, waiting, and remembering. Working in bronze and fibreglass, she creates richly textured surfaces inspired by textiles, jewellery, and ritual ornamentation. Elements such as the flute, peacock feather, and inward-tilted head suggest music translated into stillness. Her elongated proportions and graceful gestures evoke Indian classical and bhakti traditions. Through intimacy and subtle symbolism, Karuna Shigvan transforms sculpture into a contemplative experience, inviting viewers toward silence, connection, and reverence.

“SPANDANE” Solo Show of Paintings By Renowned artist Sachin Sagare in Jehangir Art Gallery

SPANDANE

Spandane is delicate, but potent. Spandane literally means vibration. It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This particular brand of manipulation is familiar territory for painter Sachin Sagare, who in his seventeenth solo show is proving himself a consummate craftsman of this complex emotion. His twenty-one elegiac paintings on display each take the form of womanhood, but what drives this artist’s moody remembrances is the figurative element within each work: Spandane surrogates that what is always beautiful, winsome, and perfectly attired. Today’s practice of acrylic painting is itself fueled by nostalgia, reminding us of a purer time when art seemed to have a sacred quality, either literally or figuratively. What’s remarkable about his practice, however, is the way he uses different strategies to describe not only memory but also the fading of memory that stirs in us a longing to be reunited with our past.

Artist: Sachin Sagare 

In his dreamy paintings of women in verdant landscapes, Sagare toys with conventional associations of nature, femininity, childhood and innocence. The foregrounds of his pictures are occupied by colorful women. Sagare paints these with a deft, brushy touch that gives the surfaces of his canvases a sensuously tactile presence. The diminutive figures of women that Sagare inserts into these environments look almost as if they’d been present in nostalgia, Sagare’s primary focus is on the unspoken the silent scenes that carry thought beneath their calm surface. He gazes through these images to understand how history lives in bodies and behaviors, especially those of women, who often remained functional yet invisible within dominant narratives.

With few if any signs of civilization in view, you get the feeling they’ve escaped not only from parental supervision and the rules of their community but from modernity in general and the mess made of the world by the Industrial Revolution. It’s a short step to see Sagare’s heroines’ escape into the bosom of Mother Nature as a romantic protest against the dominion of patriarchal consciousness. Insofar as the artist himself may be said to personify the life and freedom of art and imagination. This gives Sagare’s paintings a touching personal urgency. He’s projecting his own sense of what it takes to be an artist in the modern world. You have to be some kind of outlaw. He employs an academic style, showing off the gestural nature of figure painting. Every stroke reflects a motion, yet everything is precise, with intention.

Very few contemporary figurative painters reveal subtle enigmatic juxtaposition. Artist such as Sachin Sagare uses caricature, irony and broad stylization to deliberately provoke, filtered through a faux academic plainness, the paintings in the current series done between 2025 and 2026 depict multi figure scenes populated by late adolescent women engaged in enigmatic encounters, or just as often disengaged and daydreaming. Women roam in mass in sarees and blouses, barefoot with vermilion smeared over their forehead. All the paintings seem woven from disparate sources. Sachin Sagare’s female protagonists seem to project something different from these sources, perhaps a more contemporary hauteur. They never fully declare just what they are up to, and seem unhurried by events. The multiple scenarios on display are like formal qualities of the paintings, still ever so slightly sketchy and undercooked, but with much to savor for those who like their mysteries that way.

This show will be inaugurated on 25th August 2026 at 5.30pm by Honorable Chief Guest - Parvez Damania Director – Mumbai Art House, Guest of Honor – Sonam Shivdutt Das Chairperson –Shivdutt Das Art Foundation

"Collectively Independent 2026" An Exhibition of Paintings by Bharti Verma, Ramos, Ruchi Chadha and Sapna Gupta at Visual Art Gallery

Inner Konnect Art (IKA) presents Collectively Independent 2026 — Beyond the Visible, bringing together four independent artistic voices—Bharti Verma, Ramos, Ruchi Chadha and Sapna Gupta—whose practices, while distinct in language and approach, share an engagement with what lies beyond the immediately visible.

An artist-led initiative, IKA has for over a decade created a platform for independent artists, encouraging artistic exchange, dialogue and meaningful engagement between artists and audiences. Collectively Independent continues this spirit by placing individual practices together without imposing a common visual language, allowing each artist’s work to retain its own identity.

Bharti Verma, an artist with over three decades of practice, explores the emotional and psychological presence of the human figure. Drawing from her early engagement with literature and her longstanding interest in memory and silence, her figures are not portraits but vessels of unnamed emotions and shared human experiences. Her restrained black-and-white and muted palette, punctuated by occasional colour, creates an atmosphere of intimacy, vulnerability and quiet resilience.

Ramos approaches abstraction through instinct, spirituality and an intimate connection with nature. Largely self-taught as an artist and photographer, his practice has evolved from minimalist landscapes towards complete abstraction. Working primarily in oils, he creates richly textured surfaces through layering, scratching and expressive mark-making. Influenced by the landscapes of Uttarakhand and by artists including Nasreen Mohamedi, Ram Kumar, Paul Klee and Hilma af Klint, his paintings become spaces where energy, memory and contemplation converge.

Ruchi Chadha, a graduate of the College of Art, New Delhi, brings more than three decades of engagement with painting and ceramics. Nature, water and the cycles of transformation form the foundation of her practice. In her ongoing lotus series, she shifts the viewer’s perspective beneath the water, revealing the darkness, silt, weeds and filtered light from which the lotus emerges. The flower becomes a metaphor for resilience, hope, renewal and transcendence.

Sapna Gupta, a New Delhi–based abstract artist, works intuitively through texture, material and an enduring dialogue with nature. Her paintings evolve through spontaneous gestures, earthy pigments and layered surfaces, allowing each work to discover its own direction. Gold appears as a subtle source of light, representing inner richness, resilience and transformation rather than material wealth. Her works invite viewers to surrender certainty and experience the freedom and energy within nature and the self.

Together, the four artists offer contrasting yet complementary perspectives—moving from the human figure to abstraction, from water and earth to memory and emotion. Beyond the Visible invites viewers to look beyond surface and form, towards the intangible experiences that give art its emotional resonance.

The Inauguration

The exhibition was inaugurated in the presence of an esteemed gathering of art, cultural and creative personalities. The occasion was graced by the Guests of Honour Ms Raseel Gujral Ansal, Mr Naveen Ansal, Mr Samar Jodha and Mr Manu Mansheet Rai, whose presence added significance to the opening.

Ms Raseel Gujral Ansal is a prominent figure in India’s art and cultural landscape, known for her association with contemporary art, design and creative initiatives. Her longstanding engagement with the arts has contributed to creating greater visibility and appreciation for contemporary artistic practices.

Mr Naveen Ansal is associated with the Ansal family’s longstanding contribution to architecture, real estate and the development of Delhi’s cultural and urban landscape. His presence at the exhibition reflects an appreciation of art as an integral part of contemporary life and society.

Mr Samar Jodha is an internationally recognised photographer and filmmaker whose practice engages deeply with people, cultures, social narratives and the environment. His work has taken him across diverse geographies and communities, using visual storytelling as a means of creating awareness and human connection.

Mr Manu Mansheet Rai, known for his engagement with the creative and cultural sphere, has been associated with initiatives that bring together art, ideas and contemporary expression. His presence at the opening further strengthened the exhibition’s emphasis on artistic dialogue and independent creative voices.

The inauguration celebrated not only the opening of Collectively Independent 2026, but also the spirit behind it—art by artists and for artists, where individual voices can come together while remaining authentically independent.

The exhibition will remain open to visitors from 20 to 25 August 2026, from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm, at the Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi.

“The Sixth Sense” Paintings & Sculpture exhibition by 5 contemporary renowned artists in Jehangir Art Gallery

THE SIXTH SENSE

A Group Exhibition of Paintings & Sculpture

The Sixth Sense brings together five distinctive artistic journeys—Ajey Dalvi, Kavita Salunke, Deepak Thopate, Dr. Tanaji Awaghade, and Surendra Kudapane. The exhibition explores the intuitive connection between art, emotion, perception, and inner vision.

Through colour, form, texture, geometry, sculpture, and landscape, each artist presents a unique perspective of the world. From Dalvi’s expressive colours and emotions, Awaghade’s spiritual geometric compositions, Thopate’s expressive sculptures, Kudapane’s layered abstraction, to Salunke’s evocative landscapes shaped by memory and place, every work reflects an individual artistic voice. The Sixth Sense celebrates creativity beyond words and invites viewers to experience art through intuition and feeling. 

 

Ajey Dalvi

Ajey Dalvi is a Kolhapur-based painter whose artistic practice explores change, transformation and innovation through colour. His work emerges from an interplay between the conscious and subconscious mind, where emotions find their unique language through vibrant and layered compositions. Dalvi considers colour the “God particle”, a fundamental element capable of evoking and releasing moments of happiness. His paintings bring together transparent and opaque layers of colour, creating depth, movement and emotional resonance. Through this dynamic approach, colour becomes more than a visual element—it becomes a medium of emotion, inner experience and transformation, inviting viewers to connect with their own intuitive and emotional responses. 

 

Kavita Salunke

Pune-based artist Kavita Salunke explores landscape, memory, atmosphere and emotion through expressive paintings and evocative abstractions. Her work draws inspiration from coastal settlements, urban spaces, architecture, textures and open landscapes, transforming everyday observations into deeply personal visual experiences. Through layered textures, nuanced colour palettes and dynamic compositions, she captures not only the physical character of a place but also its mood, memories and emotional resonance. Themes of movement, transition and belonging remain central to her practice. Her paintings move beyond representation, creating a space where observation meets imagination and emotion, inviting viewers to discover beauty and stories within the familiar.

 

Deepak Thopate

Sculptor Deepak Dinkar Thopate is a leading contemporary sculptor from Maharashtra, known for his realistic approach, technical precision and exceptional craftsmanship. A Sculpture graduate of Sir J. J. School of Art, Mumbai, his practice reflects a deep understanding of form, proportion, anatomy and aesthetics. He has created public monuments, sculptures of eminent personalities and diverse sculptural compositions, combining creative expression with technical mastery. His works have been exhibited at Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, and several state and national exhibitions. A recipient of the Maharashtra State Award, Thopate’s sculptures reveal expressive character, refined sensitivity and artistic excellence, establishing a distinctive identity in contemporary Indian sculpture.

 

Dr. Tanaji Awaghade

Dr. Tanaji Awaghade’s artistic practice is deeply rooted in spirituality, symbolism and sacred geometry. For over 25 years, he has explored the Shri Yantra on canvas, using geometric forms and intricate patterns to express the harmonious connection between all existence. His paintings engage with concepts of chakras, meditation, positive energy and the relationship between the subtle and the macrocosm. Inspired by the sacred geometry of temples and his belief in a divine universal force, Awaghade transforms geometry into a language of spiritual experience. His works invite viewers to look beyond the fragmented material world and connect with inner light, consciousness and universal harmony.

 

Surendra Kudapane

Surendra Kudapane is a distinguished contemporary Indian painter and sculptor whose work explores the relationship between nature, human emotions and the subconscious. His distinctive visual language blends realism and abstraction, using balanced colour harmonies, transparent layers, expressive textures and geometric structures to create a sense of serenity, harmony and introspection. A Gold Medalist with academic training from Abhinav Kala Mahavidyalaya, Pune, Sir J. J. School of Art, Mumbai, and S.B. University of Fine Arts, Karnataka, he has received several State and National honours. With 20+ solo and 125+ group exhibitions, his works are held in public, corporate and private collections in India and abroad.
