The world of art is often seen as a sanctuary—an alternate realm where beauty, thought, and emotion converge. Few artists embody this idea more completely than Bhaskar Singha, whose upcoming solo exhibition, "Realms of Peace – IV," promises to be both a visual and spiritual journey.
The exhibition will be inaugurated on Tuesday, 15th April 2025 at 6:30 PM, at the Jehangir Art Gallery, Gallery No.1, Kala Ghoda, Mumbai. It will remain open to visitors daily from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM till 21st April 2025.
The event will be graced by distinguished guests, including Mr. Sudipto Sen, noted film director of The Kerala Story and Bastar; Mr. Mohan Thombre, retired IAS officer; Mrs. Sujata Bali of Miran Production, Mr. Rakesh Gupta, Director of Routes 2 Roots NGO; and Mr. Sujit Das, Executive Vice President - Creative, Turmeriq.
Artist: Bhaskar Singha
Bhaskar Singha is not merely a painter—he is a seeker, a chronicler of life’s simplicity, and a spiritual explorer. Over the last 28 years, he has developed a unique visual language, initially through watercolour, and later through acrylic on canvas. His early watercolours are noted for their distinct layering technique—ten to twelve translucent washes that often resemble stencil work or the wax resist textures of batik.
As his journey progressed, so did his themes. Singha often chooses issue-based subjects—child labour, devotion, psychology, Sanatan philosophy—transforming them into meditative reflections on canvas. His deep connection with the Ramakrishna Mission infused his art with a stronger spiritual dimension, and the influence of Sanatan Sanskriti became increasingly central to his work.
Singha’s artworks are rich in symbolism and atmosphere. One can sense the cool breeze on a beach, the rustling of leaves, or the searing heat of a summer day—each natural element crafted with emotional nuance. In works like 'Youth,'he portrays the fire and competitive spirit of young people across genders, highlighting the evolving roles of women in society. In another series, inspired by the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, he created pieces such as 'Run for Clean India,' capturing the ripple effect of one individual’s actions in inspiring community change.
