“RELATIONS” An Exhibition Of Paintings & Drawings By Renowned Artist Sajal Kanti Mitra At Jehangir Art Gallery

From: 13th to 19th January 2026 “RELATIONS” An Exhibition of Paintings & Drawings By Renowned artist Sajal Kanti Mitra VENUE: Jehangir Art Gallery 161-B, M.G. Road Kala Ghoda, Mumbai 400001 Timing:11am to 7pm Contact: +91 9831429243 In the works of Sajal Kanti Mitra, figuration and abstraction exist in a continuous, deliberate dialogue. His paintings unfold within a threshold space where faces, bodies, and gestures momentarily emerge from layered fields of colour, only to recede again into atmosphere and rhythm. Rather than offering linear narratives, the works propose states of becoming, images held in suspension, as if caught between thought and emotion. Mitra’s visual language is rooted in an urban consciousness, yet it is tempered by an inward, almost musical lyricism. The recurring female forms across his canvases function less as portraits and more as presences, self-contained, introspective, and quietly resonant. Their elongated physiognomies and gently fractured planes evoke relational memory, suggesting how identities are shaped through closeness, distance, and unspoken exchange rather than fixed definition. Colour operates here as cadence rather than embellishment. Dense reds and ochres lend gravity and corporeal weight, while blues and greens open into contemplative, meditative intervals. The worked surfaces scraped, layered, and reassembled, retain traces of process, allowing the act of painting itself to register as an attentive, almost listening gesture. Seen together, the exhibition reads as a sustained meditation on rhythm: of bodies, emotions, and lived urban experience filtered through personal mythology. Mitra does not seek resolution; instead, he holds form at the edge of recognition, inviting the viewer into a quiet, continuous encounter. “RELATIONS” An Exhibition Of Paintings & Drawings By Renowned Artist Sajal Kanti Mitra At Jehangir Art Gallery...

“Sacred India” 17th Solo Show Of Paintings By Renowned Artist Paramesh Paul At Nehru Centre Art Gallery

January 13 to 19, 2026 “Sacred India” 17th Solo Show of Paintings By Renowned artist Paramesh Paul VENUE:  Nehru Centre Art Gallery AC Gallery, Discovery of India Building Dr. Annie Besant Road Worli, Mumbai – 400018 Timing: 11am to 7pm Contact: +91 9833748993 Renowned artist Parameh Paul is showing his recent work “Sacred India” 17th Solo Show of Paintings at Nehru Centre Art Gallery, AC Gallery, Worli, Mumbai from 13th to 19th January 2026 between 11am to 7pm. A Luminous Journey through Sacred Sites Paramesh Paul pays an earnest and deeply emotive tribute to the scenic and sacred beauty of places like Varanasi and Pandharpur. In glowing, warm colours — amber, gold, and vermilion — these works are created with utmost care and devotion. A sense of awe is evoked through the dense compositions, while a serene, sublime calm pervades the picture space, immersing the viewer in prayer-like feelings, known and ‘unknown’. In a work, the sky shines with saturated oranges and golds, while floating diyas and lotus blooms transform the river itself into an altar — majestic, fluid, and sanctified. The ghats of Varanasi at dusk, the sculpted Nandi, the pilgrims and devotees performing rituals, lend the paintings a rich narrative fullness, conveying faith as a lived, luminous presence. Scripted with fine, brooding strokes, these paintings are soothing and richly rewarding on both visual and emotional terms. The lines and forms that construct boats and houses have a quiet charm. Details of rituals — aarti, bathing, prayer, procession — and of temples, pavilions, and arches, are sensitively rendered; they carry a fascinating presence and grace, binding all elements into a shared ceremonial glow. In another piece, the palette shifts to greys, ash-whites, muted blues, and smoky browns. Against this subdued ground, ornate bamboo chhatris punctuate the surface, as if reflecting continuity — ritual, belief, and the ceaseless flow of life...

“Between Form And Silence” Recent Works By Artist Asha Shetty In Jehangir Art Gallery

From: 29th December 2025 to 4th January 2026 “Between Form and Silence” Where the unseen begins to speak Recent works By Contemporary artist Asha Shetty                                                VENUE: Jehangir Art Gallery 161-B, M.G. Road Kala Ghoda, Mumbai 400001 Timing: 11am to 7pm Contact: +91 9326475228 Between Form and Silence – Solo Exhibition by Asha Shetty Between Form and Silence is a solo exhibition by Mumbai-based contemporary artist Asha Shetty, presented at Jehangir Art Gallery, Kala Ghoda. The exhibition brings together recent works in acrylic and ink on canvas that move between abstraction and figuration, exploring states of balance, transition, and inward contemplation. Shetty’s practice is grounded in rigorous training in drawing and painting, supported by formal study of Indian aesthetics. Her works do not follow narrative structures; instead, they invite slow looking and quiet engagement. Figures appear as inward-facing presences rather than portraits, existing as states of being. These are placed in dialogue with abstract structures, subtle geometric rhythms, and elements drawn from nature and ritual. Material process plays a central role in the artworks. Working with acrylic, ink, collage, and layered textures, Shetty builds surfaces gradually through addition, erosion, and restraint. Marks remain visible, carrying traces of time and decision, while the balance between what is revealed and what is concealed is carefully maintained. Colour, symmetry, and surface rhythm guide the viewer’s experience, creating compositions that hold stillness without becoming static. The artworks resist immediate interpretation, allowing meaning to unfold through sustained viewing. The past year marks a new phase in Shetty’s artistic journey, where traditional sensibilities intersect with contemporary abstraction. ‘Between Form and Silence’ offers a reflective space within the gallery, inviting viewers to pause, observe, and engage with a visual language shaped by quiet intensity and considered restraint. This show was inaugurated on 30th December 2025 by Honourable Guests – Mr. Surendra Jagtap, (Eminent Artist & Principal of J.K. Academy of Art &...

“CHITTADARSHANI” Art Exhibition By Contemporary Artist Dhiraj Hadole In Jehangir Art Gallery

From: 23rd to 29th December 2025 “CHITTADARSHANI” Art Exhibition by contemporary artist Dhiraj Hadole VENUE: Jehangir Art Gallery Auditorium Hall 161-B, M.G. Road Kala Ghoda, Mumbai 400001 Timing: 11am to 7pm www.dhirajhadole.com Holding Space: Dhiraj Hadole’s Geometry Dhiraj Hadole’s work enters the long history of geometric abstraction not through utopian rigidity or formal bravado, but through a quieter, inward recalibration of what geometry can hold within. Where early modernist abstraction like Constructivism, De Stijl, Suprematism, often positioned geometry as a universal language detached from subjectivity, Hadole belongs to a later, more reflective strain of abstractionists that allow structure to coexist with memory, affect, continuity, and care. His compositions recall the disciplined clarity of hard-edge abstraction, yet they resist its doctrinaire coolness. Unlike the mathematically assertive geometries of artists such as early Bauhaus painters, Hadole’s planes feel lived-in. They are not declarations; they are settlements. The edges meet without aggression, and colour behaves less like a system and more like a mood. This places his work closer to artists who softened geometry through experience, where colour interaction became psychological rather than purely optical, like Josef Albers. At the same time, Hadole’s surfaces carry an unmistakable emotional register that aligns him with a lineage of felt abstraction, artists who used reduction not to erase feeling, but to distil it. One senses an affinity with quiet grids, where repetition functions as a form of attention rather than control. Hadole treats geometry as a meditative framework, a way to steady the mind rather than dominate it. It is evident in the way he constructs the wood stretcher, and drapes the canvas over it deftly, almost like one was reenacting a childhood memory, shaping it to precision. The stitched and layered qualities in his work also introduce a material memory absent from classical geometric abstraction. Here, the work quietly diverges from Western modernist purity and moves toward a more...

“CHITTADARSHANI” An Art Exhibition By Dhiraj Hadole, Pravin Waghmare, Swapnil Sangole At Jehangir Art Gallery

From: 23rd to 29th December 2025 “CHITTADARSHANI” An Art Exhibition by Dhiraj Hadole, Pravin Waghmare, Swapnil Sangole VENUE: Jehangir Art Gallery Auditorium Hall 161-B, M.G. Road Kala Ghoda, Mumbai 400001 Timing: 11am to 7pm Dhiraj Hadole  Dhiraj Hadole’s work enters the lineage of geometric abstraction not through utopian rigidity or formal bravado, but through a quieter recalibration of what geometry can contain. Hadole belongs to a reflective generation that allows structure to coexist with memory, affect, and care. His compositions echo the discipline of hard-edge abstraction, yet resist its doctrinaire coolness. The planes feel inhabited rather than imposed; edges meet without aggression, and colour operates as mood. Geometry here is closer to a psychological modulation than an optical one. Reduction does not erase feeling, it distils it. Repetition becomes attention, not control. Materially, Hadole’s practice departs from modernist purity. The stitched, layered surfaces introduce a tactile memory aligned with domestic knowledge and inherited labour. Quilt-like constructions suggest an indigenous abstraction shaped by patience, repair, and assembly, without slipping into literal craft reference. Cultural specificity is absorbed ethically, not illustrated. These works propose equilibrium: that intimacy can be measured. In this restraint lies their quiet radicalism. Dhiraj Hadole proves that stability is not the enemy of depth, that precision can remain soft. These are paintings that behave like shelters, steady, composed, and rewarding to those willing to slow down and meet them on their own terms. Pravin Waghmare Pravin Waghmare’s art practice emerges from an acute attentiveness to the visual and emotional residues of everyday life. Forms, colours, textures, and fleeting sensations are not treated as passive observations but as active forces that impress themselves upon the artist’s inner self. From this silent accumulation of experience, Waghmare constructs a language of abstraction that is grounded firmly in lived reality. Although his works appear abstract, they are anchored in the rhythms of the visible...

“Manthan” A Solo Exhibition By U.S.–Based Artist Anisha Sanghani, Opened At Kamalnayan Bajaj Art Gallery

Anisha Sanghani’s first International solo show “Manthan” scheduled at Kamalnayan Bajaj Art Gallery, Nariman Point, Mumbai, December 1–6, 2025., embodies a Mythic Storm of Gods, Plastic, and Conscience. An ocean of kaleidoscopic colors unfurls, punctuated by a glimmer of gold. Gods ascend from the waves, and divinity appears revitalized. Nonetheless, upon closer examination, disillusion prevails. The resplendent display is not divine, but rather a searing commentary, as the gods’ smiles dissipate. At Manthan, U.S. based Indian artist Anisha Sanghani rejects painting in favor of protest. Her mythic mixed-media exhibition, presents a world that has corrupted worship into waste. Drawing from the cosmic legend of Samudra Manthan, the churning of the ocean, Sanghani reimagines the myth in a world where the nectar has vanished, the ocean is slick with oil, and all that glitters is plastic. This is not Manthan. This is lamentation. Maa Kali ascends, not with benedictions, but with blood and ire. Shiva grasps not the halahal, but mountains of discarded reverence. Vishnu floats not on cosmic waters but on rainbows of waste. Each canvas, each frame, trembles with sacred betrayal—crafted from acrylics, gold and silver foil, candy wrappers, metal, fabric, plastic, and even fishing net. These materials are not just medium. They are message. But for Sanghani, this isn’t just an exhibition. It is resurrection. After two decades of work as a senior graphic product and package designer in U.S. the pandemic closed one door, and she opened another. Returning to art school, earning her BFA, reinventing herself as a full-time artist, muralist, and educator—this show is her soul on canvas. Her journey is one of reclamation. And each piece reflects that rebirth. Manthan’s presence is announced with a wail, not a whisper. A sculpture visibly trembles, as if the Earth itself is experiencing a seismic event. The shimmer is mesmerizing, then unexpectedly piercing. A stark reminder...
