Aurangabad-based artist Sarang Hundiwala presents a captivating blend of history, spirituality, and artistry in his intricately decorative works. Drawing from a rich array of influences ranging from Indian Miniature art traditions, doodling Zen tangles to Buddhist art influences, mythological frescoes, and traditional Indian sculpture—Sarang’s creations reflect the essence of a realm steeped in cultural heritage and artistic inspiration.

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.

The Metal Canvas Stone: Triveni of Art

Art exhibition is a confluence of distinct artistic expressions and mediums, offering a unique experience for art enthusiasts in Mumbai. Showcased at the Jahangir Art Gallery, this exhibition features the works of four renowned artists: Asurvedh, Vijaya Ved, Manisha Sanchihar, and Hemant Joshi. Their collective efforts revolve around invoking empathy and exploring both the physical and mental conditions of human existence through art. While Manisha’s abstract work leans heavily on symbolism, the other three artists present figurative forms, creating a direct and immediate connection with viewers.

This show was inaugurated on 24th September 2024  by Chief Guest Sanjay Puri, Sanjay Puri Architects Principal Architect Mumbai in the presence of  Rupesh & Archana Baid Principal Interior Architect & Design Co. Mumbai, Rajendra Patil President, The Bombay Art Society, Prof. Dr. Milind Dhobley Dean Faculty of Fine Arts MOT ADT Uni. Pune, Maharashtra

Asurvedh’s art captures the overlooked moments of everyday life, particularly focusing on the marginalized individuals who are often unseen in the bustle of urban life, such as children selling balloons at traffic signals. Through his sculptures, Asurvedh freezes these fleeting moments of human dynamism, urging viewers to take notice of the lives that often go unnoticed. His art transforms the mundane into something profound, turning these everyday scenes into still, yet expressive, sculptural forms that encourage reflection on the world we ignore.

Vijaya Ved’s artwork embarks on a journey of self-illumination, where she delves into both the tangible and intangible aspects of human existence. Her art resonates with themes of self-awareness, spirituality, and the human connection to the infinite. By portraying the emotional and spiritual relationships in life, she transcends the physical limitations of the body, aiming to illuminate the boundless nature of the soul. Her evolution as an artist reflects a shift from depicting life’s emotional ties to a deeper immersion into self-exploration through nature, revealing a universal quest for inner enlightenment.

Manisha Sanchihar presents an abstract exploration of the inner self, challenging traditional boundaries and highlighting the intricate relationship between attachment and detachment. Through her abstract expressionism, she portrays the boundlessness of the mind and emotions. Manisha’s work suggests a deeper connection with self-expression, illustrating how abstraction can still carry powerful, introspective emotions. Her art invites viewers into a space where distinctions between being and non-being dissolve, offering a moment of introspection and encouraging self-discovery.

Hemant Joshi’s sculptures emphasize the inner essence of forms rather than their outer appearances. Working predominantly in abstract stone sculptures, he seeks to uncover the deeper, hidden realities of objects and beings. His use of different stones to create harmonious compositions reflects a transformative process—one that imbues lifeless materials with a sense of boundless interpretation and beauty. Through this abstraction, Hemant’s sculptures reveal new dimensions and meanings, evoking endless possibilities for viewers to explore.

Overall, the exhibition presents a compelling narrative of human existence, self-awareness, and the interplay between the visible and the unseen. Through a diverse range of mediums—sculpture, painting, and abstract forms—these artists provide a profound commentary on the human condition, inviting empathy and introspection in their audiences.

“Capturing Nature’s Essence: The Nisargarupam Exhibition”

The “Nisargarupam” Painting Exhibition, featuring watercolor landscapes by artist Santosh Kardak , will be organized from June 4th to June 10th, 2024, at the Nehru Centre Art Gallery, Worli, Mumbai. While performing the duties of an art teacher, Santosh Kardak will bring the natural beauty of areas like Junnar to life on paper with the help of his brush. All these paintings will be enjoyed by art lovers at the exhibition. 

Santosh Kardak is a professional artist with a lifelong passion for painting. He pursued his interest in painting from childhood and continued his artistic journey by obtaining a B.A. and subsequently, he pursued a Diploma, completing two years of ATD alongside. Under the mentorship of  well-known artist Sanjay Sable, Kardak refined his skills in the intricate handling of watercolors. Later, during his tenure as an art teacher in Junnar, he adeptly captured the essence of nature using the challenging medium of watercolor. Kardak’s paintings are characterized by his ability to capture the simplicity of everyday subjects on paper in an artistic manner that brings the scene to life.

Upon relocating to the Akole area, Kardak found himself presented with an excellent opportunity for authentic landscape painting. The natural beauty of this region is truly remarkable, inspiring Kardak to create numerous landscape paintings depicting various subjects such as the waterfalls during the monsoons, overflowing paddy fields, and the valleys of Konkan. 

In the face of rapidly changing times, nature is becoming increasingly distant from humanity. The relentless pace of urbanization threatens to erode the beauty of rural areas. In such circumstances, the “Nisargarupam” Exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience the wonderful beauty of nature through art. It is an exhibition that should not be missed.

EVERY PICTURE HAS A STORY An exhibition of Photographs by Kabeer Ramesh at Nitya Artists Centre

Every Picture has a story…

A Solo Show of Photo Art

This show was inaugurated on 1st May 2024 by the hands of Adv. Rajay Gaikwad  Honourable advocate at Mumbai Highcourt.

An exhibition of Photographs by Kabeer Ramesh

Photo artist Kabeer Ramesh offers yet another solo exhibition titled ‘Every Picture has a story…’, the previous being ‘Frozen in Time’, which was held at the prestigious Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai.  ‘Every Picture has a story…’,  exhibited at the ‘Nitya Artists Centre’, Prabhadevi, from 1st May, 2024 onwards, grapples with, as the title suggests, human endeavours/stories in diverse and vivid contexts; these are photo-stories of promises and perils of being human: the glories and triumphs memorialised in monuments are juxtaposed with toiling workers in busy bazaar streets of Kolkata; the symbols of towering human achievements – the world famous the Taj Mahal and London Bridge – co-habit with the unease of forlorn ruins of the dilapidated and discarded. Interestingly, the idea of loners is presented in creatively imagined forms – the ‘lone stone’ of Shillong relentlessly standing up to vagaries of waters, and the unending wait of birds in summer of Rajasthan. The trees presented in Kabeer Ramesh’s work too depict the diverse meaning universe: the erratic desires of the colonising human, and the falling humanity supported by dried branches of the uprooted. The exhibition also offers noteworthy studies in perspective – the broad-ways and the marvel of the Howrah bridge – what appears as meeting may be illusive, and what is near maybe far.  The monuments in Kabeer’s work present an enigma: the famous Notre Dame cathedral in Paris lost its glorious treasures to the leaps of fire; so is the photograph of statue outside the Buckingham Palace, glorious yet stoic.

Kabeer Ramesh’s photographic imagery thus represents the indomitable human spirit, and also cautions against the unreasonable, erratic human desire to colonize. Importantly his works show that all human boundaries, all boundaries, are illusive,  porous and imaginary. One could easily cross over the meaning universe and find multiple meanings through acts and ways of seeing and looking, in varied times and spaces.
