His upcoming solo exhibition, ‘Triparna: The Trinity of Art,’ at the Nehru Centre, Mumbai, exemplifies this unique synergy, offering a visual journey that seamlessly fuses these diverse traditions and popular cultural practices. Each painting invites the viewer into a world of personal religious and spiritual exploration, where Sarang deftly balances the intricate with the ethereal. Central to this collection are his works, which are based on Buddhist sculptures from around the world, starting from the historic Ajanta and Ellora cave art, as well as works from other regions where Buddhism has profoundly shaped culture, religion and philosophy.
Sarang's works are a meditation on peace, unity, and harmony, embodying the interconnectedness of all life forms—a reflection of the Buddhist principles that anchor his practice. The precision of his penmanship and the subtlety of his brushstrokes create a mesmerising interplay of depth and lightness, leaving viewers enchanted by the richness of his textured surfaces and the inherent depth in their corresponding messages.
With numerous exhibitions to his name, artist Sarang Hundiwala’s art has earned a place in esteemed collections both in India and internationally. His solo show is not just an exhibition; it’s an invitation to experience the timeless spiritual and artistic traditions that continue to inform his evolving visual lexicon and inspire the world around him.
