“Visthapan” Solo Show of Recent Work by Vishwa Sahni in Jehangir Art Gallery, Kala Ghoda, Mumbai from 14th to 20th October 2025
This show was inaugurated on 14th October 2025 by Ms. Manju Ramesh Chouhan(Staff member of Jehangir Art Gallery) in the presence of Mr. Padmanabh Bendre(Eminent Artist), Pradeep Chandra(Eminent Photographer & Author), Mr. Uttam Jain(Patron Hindustan Chamber of Commerce), Mr. Snehal N. Muzoomdar(President, Indian Musicological Society), Mr. K.K. Tated(Chairman, committee to monitor Animal Welfare) among others.
VISTHAPAN
The dynamics of separation underlined with an inherent trauma informs Vishwa Sahni’s works that are at once dramatic and purposeful. It may be in the separation of families, lovers or the colossal migrations that the world is presently mired in, that all inspire Sahni to find rendition on canvas. On cursory viewing he appears to bring out only the pain and unhappiness that reflects these separations. However, there is a hopefulness when this artist assures us that deep in the heart and soul there is a binding that even in what seems an adverse situation. The growing fondness in the heart bearing the weight of the separation, stays faithful to the memory. The oils are very expressive as those who inhabit his canvas make their presence felt despite the haze they reside in. The haze they reside in screens them offering a sense of community binding as they huddle together in a shared condition, their existence never diminished.
For more than a decade now artists all over the world have expressed angst and anguish over the growing migration situation. The politics of migration has incessantly inspired all art practioners especially artists and poets. It all began in 2011 when more than 14 million Syrians were forced to flee their homes in search of safety from a violent government that had cracked down on the citizens following public demonstrations in support of teenagers who had been arrested for anti-government graffiti. The intense response to dissent and the heightened tensions surrounding freedom of expression resulted in forced migration, often leading to complex challenges such as mental health issues and the need for new protection frameworks. Historically artists are known to respond naturally to such intense situations using their art to illustrate the degenerating power dynamics of politics, human vulnerability, and border issues.
There is an undeniable arresting power in Sahni’s work. Matured over time Sahni has been exploring themes of exodus, displacement, and separation in his work, using an overriding haze obliterating identity to depict and focus on the hardships and experiences of refugee communities. They seem at times to exist within a discreet existence. Their shared journeys become an intimate binding. Family separations are a significant social feature he delves on. However the decision to re-partner after separation makes his work highlight the complex interplay between displacement and the experience of being separated from one’s homeland and living in a no man’s land situation.
Sixty one year old Sahni moved to Mumbai and has a studio in the northern suburbs. Coming from the bucolic hinterland away from open pastures in the midst of nature to a concrete maze his own migration speaks volumes of adjusting while attempting to establish roots. The route is always lined with the painful paves of yearning and longing. However since 2018 he has to his credit several solo exhibitions across the city, participations in group shows and artists’ camps. Migration toughens the body and soul while burying beneath all the anguish of separation and shielding deep within a warmth of the beginnings.

NATURALNESS An Exhibition Of Recent Works By Artist Ramdas Manikrao Thorat In Jehangir
From: 17th to 23rd December 2024
“NATURALNESS”
An Exhibition of Recent works by well-known artist Ramdas Manikrao Thorat
VENUE:
Jehangir Art Gallery
161-B, M.G. Road,
Kala Ghoda, Mumbai 400 001
Timing: 11am to 7pm
Contact: +91 8082050330
This show was inaugurated on 17th December 2024 by Parents of artist Ramdas Thorat in the presence of Hansodnya Tambe, Aashutosh Aapte, Mangesh Naik, Pradip Palav, Ashok Hinge, Nilesh Jadhav among others.
Art, time, and eternity are impersonal, awakened, conscious, and unique. They are the eternal manifestations of the ever-existing conscious Nature, whose inner and outer forces pervade all existence. The experiences born out of these natural forces are what we call art and life. When a painter contemplates through a visual medium, they transcribe their mental impressions into pictorial narratives or translate their thoughts into visual forms. In this process, the painter captures the invisible language of visual consciousness, imprinting it in the form of pictorial imagery. This act of transforming primal human experiences into visual forms, inspired by naturalness, is known as ‘visual-form paintings’ or ‘pictorial essence of vision.’
The ongoing interplay of space, sky, earth, water, and soil reflects the dynamic process of this eternal primordial nature, whose inherent power takes on various forms. This dynamic manifestation is what we perceive as ‘Chitramaya’ (illusory imagery) or ‘Chittamaya’ (illusory consciousness). Each painting embodies the unique attributes of this illusory essence, rendering a distinctive artistic character.
Nature’s light, shadow, twilight, darkness, warmth, coolness, solitude, fire, flame, density, sparsity, thick forests, lush meadows, gardens, ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, seas, oceans, homes, villages, cities, streets, marketplaces—all these myriad attributes of natural existence contribute to the visual-textural symphony of form, tone, and rhythm. This synthesis of qualities is evident in Ramdas’s artistic oeuvre, reflecting the convergence of tangible and intangible qualities.
A visual artist channels the shadows of this eternal, conscious Nature into their mind, responding to its impressions and projecting them outward in visual form. This process, where mental experiences are translated into physical expression, is what we call the “experience of artistic time” or “the era of art.” It is the conscious repetition of impressions imprinted on the human psyche by the external world. This deliberate act of creation is what we define as “artistic genesis.”
The texture, structure, spatial voids, and depth on Ramdas’s canvases actively contribute to the viewer’s perception of the artwork. His creations exist in an imaginative world where tangible nature and abstraction dissolve into a unified, cosmic resonance. This resonance expresses emotional and sensory capacities, evoking deep responses in the observer. Ramdas journeys from the vast expanse of the physical to the infinite subtleties of the metaphysical, showcasing the dynamic interplay of visible expression and ongoing exploration. His art embodies the release of accumulated potential, akin to the release of water from an overflowing dam.
In Ramdas’s works, there is a seamless blend of abstract sensibilities and tangible representations, making it difficult to measure his creations against traditional standards of naturalistic art or to quantify the value of abstraction. Instead, his art seeks a middle ground, uncovering the essence of visual perception through tonal harmony, textures, structure, and light.
His visual compositions, enriched by organic forms and patterns, depict landscapes resembling vast gardens or boundless carpets of infinite nature. The horizontal elements in his art evoke tranquility, while the interplay of the skies, waters, and earthy tones—textured and rugged—convey a profound connection to the primal landscape. The velvety greens, subtle hues, and tactile depth come together to create an immersive sensory experience, transporting viewers to a state of cosmic sensitivity. This transcendent moment, akin to an axis or pivotal instant, unfolds through Ramdas’s artistic vision, leaving the viewer profoundly affected.
Ramdas’s artwork is a testament to the unique fusion of abstraction and tangible representation, where neither naturalistic depiction nor pure abstraction dominates. Instead, his art bridges these extremes, presenting a chromatic, textured exploration of the sensory world, rendered in visual notes.
His compositions, with their organic shapes and intricate patterns, often evoke vast, limitless natural landscapes. The tranquil horizontality, the earthen textures of the soil, the layered tones of vegetation, and the juxtaposition of light and shadow create a harmonious visual symphony. These elements, combined with the emotional and cosmic resonance of the art, allow viewers to connect deeply with the work, experiencing it as a dynamic interplay of nature’s infinite forms and human creativity.
