COLORFUL DEVOTION An Exhibition Of Paintings By Well-Known Artist Sharad Kale In Jehangir

From: 23rd to 29th May 2023 “Colorful Devotion” An Exhibition of Paintings By well-known artist  Sharad Kale Venue:  Jehangir Art Gallery 161-B, M.G. Road Kala Ghoda, Mumbai 400001 Timing -11 am to 7pm Contact: +91 99208 66515 Romanticism has remained a popular subject among artists worldwide, and for good reason. It is a simple and relatable theme that resonates with audiences of all kinds. Masterpieces such as “The Kiss” by Gustav Klimt, Claude Monet’s “Water Lilies” series, Salvador Dali’s “The Persistence of Memory,” Rembrandt’s “The Night Watch,” Michelangelo’s “Creation of Adam,” and many others have served as exemplars of this genre of painting, inspiring artists to continue creating such works since the beginning of civilization. Sharad Kale’s style represents this genre as well. When regarding each of his works individually, one cannot escape the feeling of serenity, calmness, and divinity, all at once. His works are lyrical and create a rhythm that engrosses and transpires the viewer into a state of total bliss. Kale uses his canvas surface in a poetic manner, with his human figures and nature in complete synchrony. The artist invariably employs a bright palette that is bold and colorful, leaving the spectator elated. Sharad’s works mostly depict people from rural areas who are in love. This can be readily discerned by observing the expressions of his subjects. Both men and women’s faces show shyness and deep affection. Moreover, their faces are those of people who are pure and unaffected by the complicated urban world outside the villages. They are dressed in traditional Indian attire. One of the common elements in a few of his works is the flute. Lord Krishna, the romantic god, was known to have played a flute for his Gopis. The moment one sees the flute in Kale’s paintings, they are transported to that era. It brings a feeling of spirituality and...

A SOULFUL VOYAGE Solo Show Of Paintings By Artist Seema Bhargava In Jehangir Art Gallery

From: 23rd to  29th May 2023 “Voyage” A Long Journey Through Canvas Solo Show of Paintings By Artist Seema Bhargava Venue:  Jehangir Art Gallery 161-, B, M.G. Road, Kala Ghoda, Mumbai 400001 Timing: 11am to 7 pm Contact: +91 98995 82995 A Soulful Voyage: Melding Memories with Visions, a solo exhibition of paintings by Seema Bhargava, alumni of the college of arts in Delhi.  The artist has a breathtaking level of precision and attention to detail, but what truly distinguishes her is her capacity to stir up strong feelings in the viewer with her exquisite creations. She paints all of her landscapes in oil and in substantial sizes, giving the feeling to viewers that they may stroll into these scenes and inhabit their captivating realms. The basis for Seema’s works was formed by her excursions to Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh. These are works to be admired and enjoyed for their perspectives and for the creative use of pictorial spaces. They carry with them a contagious sense of wonder and it reawakens a wanderlust that most of us share. By weaving a rich tapestry of hues, forms, textures Seema Bhargava melds memories with her own visions on the canvas. As a monk humbly lowers his head while entering a monastery (as seen in one of her works), we are also swept over by a humbling sense of belonging, awe and oneness with the natural world. – Prayag Shukla ( Art Critic )  This show was inaugurated on 23rd May 2023 by Mrs Shashi Tripathi in the presence of Dr. Capt G Shetty, Ms. Smita Bhargava, Admiral Tripathi, Mrs. Seema Bhargavav &  CMDE P.K.
