“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, and the boundary between outer cosmos and inner landscape begins to thin. This show was inaugurated on 3rd March 2026 by Honourable Guests Shri Rajendra Patil (President -The Bombay Art Society, Founder – India Art Festival), Prof. Dr. Ganesh Tartare(Sir, J.J. School of Art, Mumbai), Shri Rishiraj Sethi (CA, CFA; Director – Aura Art eConnect Pvt.Ltd), Prof. Him Chatterjee( Vice chancellor, J. J.

The exhibition Between Surface and Depth: The Inner Landscapes by Bharti Verma and Ruchi Chadha opened on 3rd March at Gallery No. 2 of Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, drawing artists, students, and members of the city’s art community to an engaging inaugural evening. The exhibition will remain on display until 9th March, presenting a body of work that reflects on inner experience, resilience, and the subtle dialogue between surface and depth. The show was inaugurated by Rajendra Patil, Founder and President of the India Art Festival, along with Rishiraj Sethi, Director of Aura Arts. Their presence added significance to the opening, highlighting the continuing support extended by curators and art platforms toward contemporary artistic practices. The evening was further marked by the presence of distinguished academicians, including Ganesh Tartare, Professor at the Sir J. J. School of Art, and Him Chatterjee, Vice Chancellor of J.J. School of Art Architecture and Design. Their participation brought together perspectives from both the academic and artistic spheres, enriching the spirit of the occasion. Visitors to the opening explored works that move between figuration and symbolic abstraction. Bharti Verma’s paintings reflect an inward gaze, where the human form becomes a site of memory, emotion, and introspection. In contrast, Ruchi Chadha’s lotus-inspired compositions evoke themes of renewal and quiet strength, using the flower as a metaphor for growth and emergence.

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, and yellows appear as brief, almost ethical interruptions. The surfaces hold a soft grain, suggesting repeated acts of layering, erasure, and restraint rather than expressive excess. Dhane’s compositions resist centrality. Vertical fissures, muted blocks, and barely-there geometries behave like pauses in thought; structures that emerge only to dissolve back into silence. There is a strong sense of held breath: nothing spills, nothing insists. Even the most saturated reds feel meditative rather than dramatic, as if heat has been absorbed and disciplined by time. What is striking is the balance between control and vulnerability. These paintings do not perform abstraction; they... 
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 stillness. Unlike heroic monumentality, Shigvan’s sculptures favour intimacy and grace; their elongated proportions and softened gestures evoke bhakti traditions and classical Indian aesthetics without slipping into pastiche. The duality of faces hints at layered identities: inner and outer selves, the temporal and the eternal. Her work draws the viewer into a quiet, sustained communion. In a contemporary moment obsessed with speed, Karuna Shigvan’s sculptures reclaim slowness as a form of reverence. ——Sushma Sabnis (Mumbai) “Divine Texture Of Culture” An Exhibition Of Sculptures By Kiran Shigvan, Karuna Shigvan At Nehru Centre Art...

Throughout the grand chronicle of humanity, art has served as the cornerstone of civilization. Long before the dawn of spoken language, our ancestors began to etch narratives and dreams onto cave walls, laying the foundation for the powerful language of visual communication. From the prehistoric whispers on stone to the contemporary hum of AI-generated artistry, art has been the enduring thread weaving together tribes, societies, and the very fabric of human experience. Art transcends the boundaries of individual disciplines, permeating every field of knowledge and fostering a rich network of expression through diverse styles and cultural voices. While the undeniable visual impact of art remains captivating, it is the platform itself that truly ignites artistic evolution. Art shows and fairs serve as vibrant marketplaces where budding talent flourishes and established masters receive recognition for their invaluable contributions to the nation’s cultural heritage.
