SUMMARY:Thoughts on Environment
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_column_text] \nYesterday’s Teacher\, today’s Artist\, Forever a Mentor” \nMadhuri’s journey is a beautiful testament to the idea that creativity never truly leaves us; it simply waits for the right moment to bloom again. \nHer story carries a sense of profound continuity from her father Shrikrishna Shankar Samel’s legacy as Art Director for over 90 films in the golden era of Hindi Cinema to her own thirty five years of shaping young minds as an educator at Lions Pioneer School in Matunga after her MA and B.Ed degrees. While her career was in education\, her soul has always been that of an artist. By rediscovering the brush during the quiet\, often difficult days of the global COVID pandemic in 2020\, she has proved that art is not just a hobby\, but a form of resilience.\nHer decision to study Warli\, Gond and Madhubani art styles shows a deep respect for India’s roots. These folk arts are\, at their core\, about the very ‘balance of nature’\, making them the perfect medium for her social perspective. \nBridging tradition and Realism: Without formal training but with deep reverence to professional artists\, Madhuri immersed herself in the indigenous art forms of India:\nWarli: Capturing the rhythm of tribal life.\nGond: Celebrating the intricate patterns of nature.\nMadhubani: Honouring ancient stories through vibrant hues.\nRealism: An exploration of the world as it is.\nArt with a purpose \nMany paint for self-expression\, but for Madhuri\, it is painting for transformation. By dedicating the proceeds of her work to deserving students\, she bridges her two lives: as a teacher and the Artist\, funding futures. \nThrough her Realism and folk \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”11662\,11663\,11664\,11665\,11666\,11667\,11668″ css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Visual Momemtum
DESCRIPTION:दृश्यसंवेग — ViSUAL MOMENTUM \nThe conscious space gives birth to many forms. To create a new form\, the form must first absorb space within itself. Thus\, in reality\, space manifests or becomes embodied within the form. In Kabir’s words: “Inside the pot\, outside the pot – the void is one.” The void that seems empty is in truth conscious. Every painting must be experienced as such a space. So it is. \n  \nAn artist lives without the intention of creating memory\, yet sometimes painters or art admire feel the urge to create many works as symbolic imprints of momentary awareness. Therefore\, in their consciousness\, the painting appears as a narration of fleeting moments. This makes it difficult to locate the pure artistic ‘principle’ (kala-sutra) within a work and hence it has no narrative. To understand the principle\, one must convey its vision through stories or examples/narrations but the ‘narrative’ itself is not the principle. \n  \nPainting\, sculpture\, architecture\, drama – all must be read with the eyes\, heard with the ears\, measured by touch\, balanced through scent\, and tasted through words. Only then can one fully experience the conscious art – the “Visual Momentum” (drushyasamveg). \nWhile viewing the works of individual artists\, one must experience the following: in the visual impulse of the forms there lies force\, movement\, rotation\, and dissolution\, its effects\, direction\, and condition are seen in physical visible form of momentum. \nThis should be observed inwardly. \nThe rhythm of the surface within space\, the rhythm of the areas upon the surface this principle of rhythm is the visual soul of every painter’s work. What one experiences when seeing the pictorial sky\, the pictorial space\, is expressed in the following lines: \n  \nताल\, तोल\, लय श्यामश्वेत अंबर\, घडे निरंतर हेचि दृश्यध्यान. \n“Rhythm\, balance\, cadence in the black-and-white sky\, Forever forming – this is the meditation of sight.” \nA painting is the path of a traveller of art\, a way that is destined toward art itself. \nA painting is not the final destination of art – and this understanding is evident in the works of the artists in th es beyond form becomes known.” \nThis is the inner pictorial experience of these artists\, expressed beautifully in the line: \n  \nअंबर ते ध्यान लागे अंबरी\, कर अंबरी करोनिया. \n“When the sky becomes meditation\, The hand becomes the sky itself.” \nAll these artists are attempting to capture the space within the picture plane\, and pictorial consciousness through visual language. Some have used geometry as a basis\, some have used textures\, others have used lines\, and still others have utilized the repetition of pictorial elements or color dimensions. What one feels while viewing their works is captured in the lines: \n  \nडोळीयाने जाणा डोळीयाने जाणा\, दृश्याची गणना मना कोण करी. \n“Know it through the eyes\, know it through the eyes\, Who can measure the vision with the mind?” \nThese artists have understood the subtle distinction between bhāva (inner feeling) and bhāvana (emotion). That’s when the lines come to mind: \n  \nभावेवीण चित्नशिल्प न कळे निसंदेह\, स्वाध्यायवीण दृश्यानुभव कैसाकळे. \n“Without inner feeling\, sculpture and painting cannot be understood; Without self-study\, how can one comprehend visual experiences?” \nTo sustain the cyclical repetition of the visual experience\, it is necessary to con- tinuously engage in the visual contemplation of the seeing: \nदेखावा वाचावा भाव हा दृश्याचा\, आत्मा जो कलेचा दृश्य जप. \nRead the scene\, understand the emotion of visual for the soul of art lies in preserving the visual. \nToday\, it seems easy to gain fame before attaining mastery\, especially through artificial intelligence. Machine-generated designs are more visible everywhere. Yet these six artists overcome this challenge and strive to transform the flowing visual tradition in tune with time. \nTheir works reveal the principle of nature’s essence through each creation.

SUMMARY:Vishnuh- Vasanth Rao
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_column_text] \nI am text block. Click edit button to change this text. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet\, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus\, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis\, pulvinar dapibus leo. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””] \nVishnuh The term Vishnu is dissolved as Veveshti Vyaapnoti iti Vishnuh-That which pervades everywhere is Vishnu. He is the one who pervades all and nothing ever pervades Him. ‘Eesaavaasyam Idam Sarvam’- All this is indwelt\, pervaded by the Lord. This very same idea is described in the typical style of the Puranas\, in the incarnation of the Lord as Vaamana\, the short-boy (Vamana)\, who\, with His three feet\, measured the entire universe. Because of this act\, the Lord got the name Vishnu\, says the Vishnu Purana. The root ‘Vis’ means ‘to enter’. The entire world of things and beings is pervaded by Him and the Upanishad emphatically insists in its mantra ‘whatever that is hange’. Hence at He is not limited by space (Desa)\, time (Kaala) or substance (Vastu). \nAs an artist I believe that Art is not just a drawing or visual representation for me but rather beyond that. It has been a key tool and process of discovering myself. It is my visual diary wherein I note and express my explorations. Though my journey began 29 years ago with expressing objects and experiences of my external world\, it soon turned into Self-discovery process. For me\, Art is that eminent medium that helps me discover my core soul aspects like sex and spirituality. This accelerated and graduated my curiosity in key areas Self\, and thus\, sex and Spirituality became my subject exploration which I try to represent visually through my art. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”11394\,11395\,11396″ css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:GANDHI’S INDIA & INDIA’S GANDHI – Curated by Raju Sutar
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=””] \nTo the world\, India is inseparable from the legacy of Gandhi—a nation born of his ideals. Global perceptions often highlight India’s emergence from colonial suffering into strength\, resilience\, and sovereignty. Yet within India\, Gandhi evokes a far more complex response. We revere him\, emulate him\, critique him\, even reshape and sometimes reject his image in the mirror of our times. \nThis series is a heartfelt reflection—my personal journey into the abstract\, multifaceted idea we call GANDHI. \nMy artistic journey has long been captivated by the figure of Gandhi. Each of us\ncarries a distinct image of him—shaped by perception\, memory\, and myth. As I delved deeper into the phenomenon of Gandhi\, I encountered a multitude of complex\, often contradictory ideas—some I embraced\, others I challenged—but all left a lasting impact. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”11293\,11294\,11295\,11296″ css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nDuring my travels across the world\, I witnessed the deep reverence his name still commands. Even today\, his ideals inspire and resonate; there’s a timeless\, almost magnetic quality to the way people respond to him. \nTo me\, Gandhi felt like a conceptual artist—employing symbols such as the *Salt March* and the *Charkha* not just as political tools\, but as powerful visual metaphors. These objects became vehicles for personal and collective reflection\, guiding individuals toward self-awareness and socio-political consciousness. \nThis series is my attempt to interpret Gandhi through a visual lens\, using archival photographs and historical imagery to construct a layered\, personal reflection on who he was\, how he is remembered\, and what he continues to  represent. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Rolling with the Passage - Priyanka Tayal
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_column_text css=””] \nArt is never still. It shifts\, bends and rolls – just as life itself does. Rolling with the Passage brings together abstract artworks that explore the rhythm of change and the beauty of surrendering to movement. \nEach piece is less about fixed meaning and more about the experience: the gesture of a brushstroke\, the layering of the color\, the tension between chaos and calm. The works invite viewers to pause\, drift and travel with the forms as they unfold – without destination\, only passage. \nThis show is a meditation on fluidity – of thought\, of time\, of being. To “roll with the passage” is to let go of resistance and find harmony in motion. The exhibition opens a space where abstraction becomes both journey and companion\, echoing the ways we navigate our own shifting landscapes. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”11104\,11105\,11106\,11107\,11108\,11109″ css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:निसरडं nisaṛaḍa: Quagmires for Epiphanies
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”5/6″][vc_column_text css=””] \nIn the 21st century\, the meanings of ‘things’ we know and the values we attach to them have become unstable\, shifting with a pace faster than any moment in human history. Like feet slipping in marshland\, our grasp of the world is continuously unsettled—less about the survival of the fittest\, more about the survival of the compatible. At this crossroads of time and thought\, we constantly renegotiate meaning\, informed by philosophical turns\, political upheavals\, scientific revelations\, and the hyper-access to information. What emerges are fragile terrains of understanding—collective behaviours and individual responses that are always provisional. \nArtists\, however\, hold a distinct capacity: to distill these complexities into contemplative form. Their works act as coordinates for navigating the overwhelming conditions of our present. Through visual frameworks\, they open portals into existential anxiety\, ecological vulnerability\, geopolitical turbulence\, politicized ecologies\, and the widening gulf between rural and urban realities. \nThe exhibition “निसरडं nisaṛaḍa: Quagmires for Epiphanies” positions art as both compass and mirror. In confronting the slipperiness of our times\, it seeks to create moments of clarity—epiphanies that illuminate how we might endure\, reimagine\, and act within the quagmires we inhabit. \n-Nikhil Purohit\, Curator\, Arts Administrator \nएकविसाव्या शतकात\, पूर्वी स्थिर मानले जाणारे अर्थ अधिकाधिक अस्थिर व असुरक्षित होत चालले आहेत — हे अर्थ तात्त्विक व राजकीय बदल\, वैज्ञानिक शोध\, आणि माहितीच्या अति-सुलभ उपलब्धतेमुळे सतत बदलत व नव्याने निर्माण होत आहेत. या बदलांचा परिणाम सामूहिक वर्तनपद्धती\, जाणीवा\, आणि वैयक्तिक प्रतिसाद यामध्ये दिसून येतो\, ज्यामुळे आपली समज कायमस्वरूपी अस्थिर\, निसरडी वाट बनते. जणू काही चिखलट जागेत किंवा दलदलीत पाय ठेवले असावेत\, तशी आपल्या जगाबद्दलची समज सतत बदलते आहे — कारण आयुष्याचा वेग मानवाच्या इतिहासात कधी नव्हता इतका वाढलेला आहे. या बदलत्या वास्तवात “सर्वोत्तम” नव्हे तर “सुसंगत” टिकून राहतो. अशा वेळा आणि विचारांच्या वळणावर आपण जवळजवळ प्रत्येक क्षणी गोष्टींचे अर्थ लावण्याचा प्रयत्न करत असतो. \nकलाकार तात्विक भूमिका\, सामाजिक\, राजकीय-भौगोलिक अस्थिरता\, अस्तित्वासाठीचे संघर्ष\, निसर्गाची हानी\, ग्रामीण-शहरी जगण्यातील द्वंद्व; या साऱ्यांकडे तटस्थ होऊन पाहू शकतात आणि आपले निकष कलाकृतींच्या माध्यमातून मांडतात. दर्शकांना प्रदर्शनातील कलाकृतींच्या अनुभवांतून जगाकडे पाहण्याची प्रचिती येऊ शकते. तसेच विविध दृष्टिकोनातून स्वतःचे मापदंड ठरवण्या करिता ‘निसरडं- प्रचितीचे स्वानुभव’ हे कलाप्रदर्शन  साधन ठरू शकते. \nNikhil पुरोहित\, Curator\, कला लेखक \nCuratorial Advisor: Rajesh Pullarwar janiva \nParticipating Artists: \nAmrit Kartar\, Dilip Ranade\, Javed Mulani\, Kishore Thakur\, Mithu O\, Pankaj Khalode\, Pradeep Mishra\, Prajakta Palav\, Ranajeet Lade\, Yashwant Deshmukh. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”11071\,11072\,11073\,11074″ css=””][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”11025″ css=””][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”11030″ css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row]
