“ENCOUNTER WITH A MOMENT” An Exhibition of Photographs by Gurdeep Dhiman in Jehangir Art Gallery

 Leh and Ladakh: A Canvas of Divine Contrast

Artist: Gurdeep Dhiman

Renowned visual photographer Gurdeep Dhiman describes his encounters with Leh and Ladakh as transformative journeys that nourish the soul and inspire the spirit. With its stark yet stunning contrasts — barren landscapes, deep blue skies, and lush green valleys — the region evokes a sense of harmonious spirituality. Dhiman, drawn like a magnet to this land where heaven meets earth, uses his camera as a medium to converse with these awe-inspiring surroundings.

As a passionate explorer of the world’s diversity, Dhiman captures the large and small wonders of our planet through his lens. His love for the Indian Himalayas is evident in his work, which documents life, culture, and nature’s grandeur. These landscapes, whether vast and panoramic or intimately personal, resonate with raw emotion and timeless beauty.

Portrait Photography: A Window to the Soul

Dhiman’s portraits are an ode to the human spirit. He considers them "maps to one’s heart" and "windows to the soul." His process is deeply immersive, involving long, meaningful interactions with his subjects to capture their essence. These powerful visual narratives highlight the interplay of light and shadow, often rendered in striking black and white, inviting viewers into the world of his subjects.

Landscape Photography: Stories of the Earth

For Dhiman, landscapes are not mere documentation but expressions of imagination and emotion. His visual storytelling elevates the viewer’s relationship with nature, offering a deeply reflective experience. He masterfully uses the natural play of light, color, and structure to highlight the planet's beauty while advocating for its preservation and protection.

A Vision for Connection and Conservation

Through his evocative work, Gurdeep Dhiman not only seeks to immortalize the breathtaking essence of places like Leh and Ladakh but also aims to foster an emotional connection with the environment. His photography inspires viewers to cherish and safeguard the wonders of our world, making his art a compelling call to action for nature conservation.

"TIMELESS TALES" - A Solo Art Exhibition by Ghanshyam Rathod at Nippon Gallery Mumbai

 Nippon Gallery is delighted to present Timeless Tales, a captivating solo exhibition by the talented artist Ghanshyam Rathod. This exhibition showcases Rathod’s unique ability to transform everyday observations into evocative works of art that resonate deeply with audiences.

The Artist’s Vision

Ghanshyam Rathod believes that nature, in its infinite wisdom, has painted the world with an ever-expanding palette of colors. He seeks to mirror this phenomenon in his art, masterfully using white space to invite viewers into a spectrum of hues that evoke personal connections and emotions.

"My work is a dialogue," says Rathod. "It is a conversation between the objects, moments, and colors I encounter and the untold stories they inspire within me."

About the Exhibition

Timeless Tales captures Rathod's creative process, which draws inspiration from the ordinary yet profound – the rhythm of everyday life, fleeting moments seen in photographs, scenes from films, and other visual media. These elements find their way into his artistic universe, where they transform into abstract shapes, vibrant forms, and hidden narratives waiting to be discovered by the viewer.

Each piece in the exhibition tells its own story, inviting the audience to reflect on their own experiences and emotions. Rathod’s work transcends boundaries, creating a connection between the visible and the invisible, the known and the imagined.

Artist: Ghanshyam Rathod

About the Artist

Ghanshyam Rathod is an artist driven by the beauty of nature and the nuances of human life. His art emerges from an ongoing dialogue with the world around him, where seemingly mundane moments transform into profound creative expressions. Rathod’s work is a testament to the power of observation and the deep connections one can find in everyday experiences.

Join us at Timeless Tales to explore a world where colors, shapes, and stories converge, leaving you inspired and awed by the beauty of the ordinary transformed into the extraordinary.

“Known Unknown” Solo Show of Paintings by well-known artist Pankaj Jha in Jehangir

Artist: Pankaj Jha

Pankaj Jha is a person of versatile talents, but here, we are talking about his paintings. Some of these paintings carry poetry, some tell a story, while others depict an entire life, but all of them are "wordless." In this world, there are only two colours: white and black, and from their combination emerge numerous shades of slate gray. In every painting by Pankaj, the mind pauses on the slate gray. It is this slate that, with great care, slowly guides you up and down, at times toward white and at times toward black. In every painting, between the earth and the sky, life is a pearl that thrives between day and night. Pankaj, apart from being an actor, poet, and artist, is also a philosopher, one who sits detached, above the cramped buildings of the metropolis, gazing beyond the infinite with clarity. Pankaj's paintings don't attract attention due to their colourful hues, but because of their depth. These little white-and-black eyes of a philosopher, sharp and profound hold great significance. There is something in them that, while embracing the earth and sky, effortlessly presents to us the true pearls formed between every storm, whirlwind, day, and night. This vision doesn't just extend outward, but also delves as deeply within. What is within is also what is outside. As Osho says, "All education and teachings are worthless if they do not teach you the art of diving within yourself.

Recent works by Pankaj Jha

"On Pankaj's canvas, the basic three energies, sat, rajas and tamas are depicted through white, black, and slate gray. One must give time and dive deep. Only then will one discover the rare pearls thriving within each painting, each with its own unique shades. Those who understand will seize them.

I extend my heartfelt wishes to Pankaj Ji for his upcoming

art exhibition. The mountains of Himachal are waiting for this artist.
