“ATHAHA” Beyond The Boundaries Solo Show Of Paintings By Well-Known Artist Alka Bhrushundi At Jehangir Art Gallery

“From: 3rd to 9th March 2026 “ATHAHA” Beyond the Boundaries Solo Show of Paintings by well-known artist Alka Bhrushundi VENUE: Jehangir Art Gallery AC Gallery -1, 161-B, M. G. Road, Kala Ghoda, Mumbai 400001 Timing: 11am to 7pm. Contact: +91 7703880130 Alka Bhrushundi’s ‘Athaha’ does not merely contemplate infinity; it constructs it. In her works, blue is not a backdrop to devotion but a spatial field in which matter, energy, and consciousness appear suspended. The paintings move between vortex and void, between cellular intricacy and cosmic scale. Spirals open like primordial galaxies. Orb-like forms hover as if embryonic worlds. Vein-like calligraphic tracings pulse across surfaces, suggesting neural networks, river deltas, or unseen cosmological diagrams. The language is abstract, yet unmistakably organic. The artist’s earlier engagement with devotional figuration has not disappeared; it has evolved. What once required an image now unfolds as vibration. The divine is no longer personified but diffused, circulating through colour, texture, and atmosphere. Blue dominates, but it is not singular. It deepens into indigo, fractures with rusted orange, glows with quiet gold. It carries both immersion and combustion. There is a compelling tension in these works: density and lightness coexist. Feathers drift across turbulent grounds. Gold fissures cut through planetary masses. Mist veils intricate structures beneath. The compositions feel simultaneously microcosmic and macrocosmic; as if we are witnessing the inside of a cell and the birth of a universe in the same breath. ‘Athaha’ proposes infinity not as escape, but as interior expansion. These paintings ask the viewer to recalibrate scale, to consider that vastness may reside within the smallest pulse of awareness. In an era of distraction and speed, this work insists on sustained looking. It resists narration and instead offers immersion. Infinity here is not decorative mysticism. It is a disciplined exploration of energy, stillness, and threshold. Stand before these works long enough,...

Bharti Verma’s paintings reflect an inward gaze, where the human form becomes a site of memory, emotion, and introspection.

“Echoes Of Silence”Art Exhibition By Renowned Artists – Vikas Malhara, Hemant Dhane In Jehangir Art Gallery

From: 17th to 23rd February 2026 “Echoes of Silence” The Dual Art Exhibition by Contemporary Renowned Artists – Vikas Malhara, Hemant Dhane VENUE: Jehangir Art Gallery 161-B, M.G. Road Kala Ghoda, Mumbai 400001 Timing: 11am to 7pm Contact: +91 8329932837, +91 9422775921 A Group Exhibition of Paintings by two contemporary renowned artists – Vikas Malhara, Hemant Dhane are showing their recent works in Jehangir Art Gallery, Kala Ghoda, Mumbai from 17th to 23rd February 2026 Between 11am to 7pm. Vikas Malhara Vikas Malhara operates within a restrained, inward abstraction where form appears only as a trace and colour functions as a carrier of time. The paintings unfold slowly, built from translucent layers of greys, blues, blacks, and earthen whites, creating surfaces that feel weathered rather than composed. Nothing is declared outright; instead, structures emerge hesitantly, as if remembered rather than invented. Horizontal bands, softened blocks, and interrupted planes suggest landscapes without geography; psychic terrains shaped by pause, erosion, and silence. Malhara’s brushwork avoids emphasis; marks blur into one another, allowing edges to dissolve. This deliberate refusal of sharp definition creates a sense of suspended movement, where forms seem to hover between appearing and disappearing. Blacks carry weight but not aggression, functioning more like anchors of gravity than gestures of dominance. What distinguishes these works is their temporality. They appear less painted than settled, as if the surface has absorbed breath, hesitation, and repetition over time. The paintings do not resolve; they remain open, incomplete, and quietly receptive. In a visual culture driven by immediacy and assertion, Malhara’s works insist on slowness. They ask the viewer to linger, to inhabit uncertainty, and to experience abstraction not as an idea, but as a state of being. Hemant Dhane In his works, Hemant Dhane pares abstraction down to its most disciplined, inward essentials. Colour is not applied; it is settled. Greens hover like atmospheric fields, reds burn without aggression,...

“Divine Texture Of Culture” An Exhibition Of Sculptures By Kiran Shigvan, Karuna Shigvan At Nehru Centre Art Gallery

From: 10th to 16th February 2026 “Divine Texture of Culture” An Exhibition of Sculptures by Kiran Shigvan, Karuna Shigvan VENUE: Nehru Center Art Gallery, AC Gallery, Dr. Annie Besant Road, Worli, Mumbai 400018 Timing: 11am to 7pm Contact: +91 77108 68631 / +91 77759 87011 Kiran Shigvan: Kiran Shigvan’s sculptures operate at the intersection of anatomical precision, restraint, and a sensitivity to material behaviour. Working primarily in fibreglass and bronze, he demonstrates a disciplined command over form, allowing the human figure to emerge not as show but as a site of quiet psychological intensity. His sculptures often appear paused mid-thought or mid-breath, suggesting an inward turn rather than an outward performance. There is no excess here, gesture is economised, surfaces are controlled, and the body is treated as a vessel of lived experience rather than an object of idealisation. What is striking is Shigvan’s ability to let material speak without overpowering the subject. Fibreglass lends his figures a contemporary immediacy, while bronze anchors them within a longer sculptural lineage, creating a productive tension between the present and the classical. His figures carry the weight of ordinary vulnerability; fatigue, contemplation, resilience, rendered with dignity and restraint. In an age of overstated narratives, Kiran Shigvan’s sculptures insist on slowness, silence, and deep looking. Karuna Shigvan: Karuna Shigvan’s sculptural language is lyrical, devotional, and inward-looking, shaped by an enduring engagement with feminine presence, musicality, and mythic memory. Her figures, often women, musicians, or dual-faced visages are not portraits in the literal sense but embodiments of states of being: listening, offering, waiting, remembering. Working with bronze and fibreglass, she builds surfaces through intricate texturing that recalls textiles, jewellery, and ritual ornamentation, allowing the skin of the sculpture to carry cultural memory and form. There is a musical rhythm in her work; the flute, the peacock feather, the inward-tilted head, suggesting sound translated into...
