FRAGMENTS OF SILENCE

The aesthetics of fragments and silence occupy a potent conceptual space in today’s contemporary visual art. fragments operate as aesthetics and conceptual device; they reflect what we perceive and execute. whereas silence here is a space between what is said and what remains unspoken.

Artist today is practicing in various medium and material a group of such artists has joined hands together where they stand common conceptually but differs in the language and material. Each of them has their own poetics of fragments and space, yet they stand with a powerful narrative void and a space inviting spectator to enter the world of personal and collective history. Discussing on silence they call it a space not an emptiness, presence of the unseen silence which is muted by multiple layers of steel plates and arrested in the warmth of paper leaf in the shades of colour and the deliberate pauses between forms. it is not passive it resists withholds and listens.

The desire and capacity to move from the conscious to the mystical is constant and evident in this group’s explorations. Abhishek Chourasiya has straight dialogue between the tradition and modern consciousness he tries to understand the transformation of real and make belief he further clarifies that they both are so genuine that the creator the spectator and the unconcerned are engaged and realizes that it exists. this very existence is then related with his idioms of artwork and then continuum to exist in us. Siddharth Bettajewargi is the one who has distinctly used natural materials as the medium, viewing nature as his mother and prioritizing environmental concerns above all else. he creates and unleashes various form of human figures in the fallen leaf.

This transformation with the paper- mesh and fallen dry leaf is unique leaving behind interaction of speechless emotions characterized in flexible material. Umesh Chandra Nayak’s sculptures work convincingly challenge the formal nature of academic art, they are deeply personal yet universally resonant with exploration of memory, gender and cultural inheritance. The use of layered metal sheets in his sculptures is intended to symbolize different stages of human behavior, consciousness, and silence, evoking voices from stories that are otherwise inaccessible. It acts as vessels of absence, a carrier of silence. Sustaining each evolving phase of this self-awareness determines the individual contribution to humanity.

Vinod Chachere’s fragments in the work appears throughout the compositions not as ruins, but as carriers of memory. Vinod’s canvas becomes an excavation were meaning needs to be assembled attentively from scattered signs. The silence here is visual and quietness that emerges from muted palettes, minimal gestures, and restrained composition yet it is so conceptual. He believes Fragments and space do not diminish truth they deepen it and carries the viewer into an intimate dialogue. Vinay Bagade’s figures are narrative not through explicit storytelling but through gesture, posture and gaze inspired by lived experiences observation and fragmented memories rooted in traditional figurative techniques.

Vinay blends realism with beautification, often depicting static, emotionally distant figures, with decorative elements floating around as if they are residues of memory or psyche. Virendra Chopde displays his skill in portraying beautiful, elegant, simplified forms highlighted with his distinct style.

His paintings emphasize sensitivity of subject and strength of aesthetics, revealing interrelationship of nature and emotion. Chopde’s paintings are the celebratory interpretation of beauty, often featuring dynamic compositions that include flowers particularly “chafa” [Plumeria Flower] which reflect his affinity for nature. His depictions of men, women, flowers, leaf leaves a mark by flat joyous colours and elegant rhythmic lines.

MEDITATIVE ECHOES An Exhibition Of Paintings By Dinesh Kumar Parmar In Jehangir Art Gallery

12th to 18th August 2025

“Meditative Echoes”

An Exhibition of Paintings by

Dinesh Kumar Parmar

Timing: 11am to 7pm

Contact: +91 8830708819

Dinesh Kumar Parmar’s artistic oeuvre stands as a vivid visual meditation on inner states of being, spiritual transcendence, and the synesthetic experience of colour, rhythm, and emotional equilibrium. His recent series, as seen in the mixed-media works from Aura and Meditation, reveals a subtle and contemplative visual language where figuration and abstraction coalesce to communicate metaphysical stillness and emotional euphoria.

This show was inaugurated on 12th August 2025 by Honorable Guests Prof. Vishwanath Sable, Dean Govt. College of art and Design, Nagpur,  Nitin Jadia Art Collector, Rajendra Patil(Para) eminent artist, Sanjay Nikam Art Curator among others.

The central figure in meditative posture, rendered in earthy tones and textural overlays, becomes more than a subject—it becomes a metaphor for the eternal rhythm of existence and the serene cadence of spiritual awakening. Parmar’s art invites the viewer into a tranquil realm where silence is audible and time slows into reflection. His use of colour fields and organic textures evokes both natural patterns and inner emotional weather, turning each work into a portal of introspection.

The thematic continuities in his other paintings—such as the juxtaposition of a stag and bottled elements, or a female figure looking upwards to a red triangle—point towards dream logic and symbolic narration. These visual metaphors, grounded in tonal harmony and compositional finesse, suggest cycles of longing, observation, and silent transformation. There is a strong undercurrent of the feminine divine, spiritual ecology, and cosmic alignment running through his visual lexicon.

Amitabh Ashesh Paints YUN BHI In Vesavar Art Gallery, Pune I 30th July To 8th August 2025

Amitabh Ashesh Paints ‘Yun Bhi’ in Pune 

In the ongoing exhibition ‘Yun Bhi’ at Vesavar Art Gallery in Camp, Amitabh Ashesh introduces figuration through original, abstract concepts, reimagined forms and striking color fields. His exuberant scenes of daily life possess a theatrical quality, with statuesque figures in expressive gestures evoking tableaux vivants. Artworks are based on Amitabh’s compositional platform ‘Yufism’. Each painting is titled with a short poem infusing literary air. Penned by a mysterious Bolbul, they provide an emotive entry into a painting and spark viewer interpretations.

Amitabh trained at Stanford University’s Art Department under California stalwarts, including Frank Lobdell of the Bay Area Figurative movement. Displayed works reflect this lineage in simplified forms and emphatic colors however conceptual points of departure intentionally establish the paintings in their own category. For example, windows and doors are constructed with ‘masses of light’, figures at the beach wear undulating sea waves as skirt, and lovers and friends share conjoined limbs. Often natural elements such as the sun and the sky serve as props for human figures. In ‘Page Hunk’, a woman reading a romance novel has facial features reflecting the storyline and its protagonist.

There are instances of historical symbolism as in ‘Pick of Cactus’ where a book holding professor plucks cactus flowers from topmost shoots, outside the university garden periphery. Accompanying verse resonates with reference to the outcast struggling for social justice and pumping flowery fists. In ‘Paper Boat Nina’, evening takes the form of a girl, her red top standing for the sky and gray skirt with a paper boat representing the sea.

Yufism and its compositional principles have evolved over a decade. The same lead to a new class of imagery. Not prescribing an aesthetic style, they are agnostic to it. A vaild analogy would be of architectural blue prints upon which different looking houses may be built. The initial series  of paintings employ largely geometric shapes for easier explication but following works have an organic character. Yufist principles are designed for other artists too, giving them a wider significance.

Careful analysis of works reveal surprising ideation. ‘Choral Rain’ depicts a dancing girl against a metropolitan skyline as a storm picks up. Windows pour light and highrises flex, demonstrating ‘transposable behaviour’, a key Yufist tenet. Water beads arrange themselves at the girl’s feet in a necklace pattern making the rain ornamental. In ‘Wheat Field Mynah’ paying homage to Van Gogh, the sky is structured into blocks upon which clouds rest.

Senior artists and audiences in other cities have endorsed the new approach resoundingly. Vani Mangathil in Bangalore opined ‘Yufism is a completely new, innovative approach and an inspiring visual language. It presents a fresh vision that deserves to be understood and explored.’ Abstract artist Jagan felt depictions are ‘coming out naturally well… there is a lot of grammar and vibrations and no noise. Phenomenal!’. Young women, especially from fashion academies and colleges, gathered around ‘Freely’ with its uber contemporary saree, ‘Triangulator’ etc, feeling in lock step with the self-defining attitudes and couture.

Audiences seeking Indian cultural edge, will have cause to cheer the displays.

Amitabh Ashesh’s ‘Yufism’ – A New Compositional Platform for Painting presented at the Jehangir Art Gallery

Acclaimed artist Amitabh Ashesh’s innovative art exhibition titled “Yun Bhi” is being held at the Jehangir Art Gallery, Kala Ghoda. The exhibition will be open to the public from June 10 to June 16, 2025.

In this exhibition, Amitabh presents prototypical art based on conceptual tenets of Yufism. A former student of the art department at Stanford University, Amitabh has trained under modern masters, including Frank Lobdell of the Bay Area Figurative Movement.

‘Yufism’ reimagines the visible, the invisible, and the affective, imbuing them with new characteristics. For example, raindrops become strings of beads, ocean waves resemble skirts, and windows transform into structures of light. Developed over a decade, Amitabh’s unique experiments seek to introduce a new visual logic and a conceptual tool set of wide applicability.

Amitabh’s paintings carry the imprint of his personal experiences—swimming, tennis, gardening, and friendships across different cultures. Each painting has a titular poem inviting access through a literary lens. His subjects include scenes such as the bustling Brigade Road of Bengaluru, plants in rain and feeding of street dogs.

According to senior artist Vanidas Mangathil, “Yufism is a completely new, innovative, and inspiring visual language. It presents a fresh vision that deserves to be understood and explored.”

About This Exhibition  

Characterised by “gentle” characteristics and western education the rise of Bhadralok in the 19th century reflected changes in the nature of Bengali identity and subjectively. The colonial experience led to concern of Bengal elite to define for themselves a social class that would delineate their nobility and shape a new code of acceptance The “Babu” were associated with this new class of Bengalis eager to adopt Western manners and learn that they formed the bulk the workforce needed the cosmopolitan enclave of Calcutta Babumoshai enjoyed a style of life in common and was conscious of Its existence as a class organised to further its ends. The prototype Babu was one whose attire was a variety of English and Indian, claiming to be taught English and flaunting his status in society. The title “Babumoshai was added as a prefix or suffix to a person’s name to recognize (wealthy) Indians who had provided service and assistance to the British in establishing their commercial and political base in India. Raja Nabakrishna Deb of Sobhabazar Rajbari was first known ‘Babu’ from Calcutta. The rise of Bengali Babu(or Babumoshai) as a social class was mainly due to trade and Enterprise in British colonial Bengal.

Post 1857, we witnessed a change in the way these Babus were represented in popular domains. The young Bengali babu was presented as a cartoon character, a ridiculous fusion of East and West, wearing a Dhoti, coat and hat, wearing a monocle, carrying an umbrella and smoking a cigar. I tried to depict their lifestyle in this exhibition.

About My Art

After meditative perseverance of more than two decade I the Kolkata based artist Pintu Paul has been able to arrive at a goal. I was striving for to devise an indigenous identity of my painting. My figurative forms now display dominance of linearity with a sobriety of folk tranquillity where the wisdom of neo- Indian style is transcended into post-1940-s modernistic approach of our art. In the mean time since the beginning we of twenty-first century I traversed through various forms like naturalism, realism, expressionism and different kinds of folk. All these tracks have lead me to this original expression I was striving for, very much akin to my own personality.

In my present forms I amalgamates various nuances of Indigenous folk tradition, the meditative inwardness of Indian classical sensibility.

The fantasy-oriented technique of transformation of human figures from naturalism towards an expressionist sobriety based on western modernistic formal orientation. Through synthesis of all this elements, local and global I posits a benign, lyrical, witty, pleasant and colourful exposition of life, where indigenous traditional identity plays a dominant role.

The subject of my paintings and drawings are mostly figurative. In the present series I works with Indian social life.

Painter Radha Parthasarathy, is a professor at Government College of Fine Arts, Kumbakonam. Her set of paintings called the “Drifting Hues” series, symbolises the flow of life through an aerial view of the shore landscape with boats dispersed to portray life. For her, the boats depict the uncertainty of life. She correlates it with the way her life flows – completely uncertain yet beautiful. There is a sense of calmness that makes the deep silence resonate from within. The aerial view helps us admire the beauty of life from afar with different colours.

Mr. Satheesh Kumar Mani is a sculptor and a professor at Government College of Fine Arts, Kumbakonam. As a person who was always fascinated by various sportive events like Jallikattu, Football and Handball – his works serve as an expression of the inbuilt inclination towards these sports and mythological stories and the butterflies represent the immense happiness he feels for the same.

SAAHAS Art Foundation (SAF) is thrilled to present The Art of Now, a group exhibition showcasing contemporary works by Rritu Goel, Rosy Gunaiti, Jyoti Chordia, and Itee Jain

This week-long celebration of creativity offers a unique lens into modern Indian artistry, with themes ranging from mythology and nature to emotional introspection and spiritual expression. As a platform that promotes art alongside animal care and social welfare, SAF continues to bridge beauty with purpose.

This show was inaugurated on 13th May 2025 by Honorable Guests

Rishiraj Sethi Director – Aura Art,  Augustine Chalissery Founder & CEO Systemintegra, Ajoykant Ruiya Chairman Allstate Group, Manju Lodha, Writer, Social Activist, Kamlesh Doshi Film Producer, Shreya Ojha Actress and Anchor, Manmohan Jaiswal Art Curator, Event Organiser, Kiran Patel Kkiran Consultant, Rajendra Agrawal Rotary District Governor, Nitin Jadia – Art Collector, Rachana Minawala – Chatter Platter (Curator) Sabrina Cooper Child World Foundation Trus rusted Hill Retreat and Sanjay Nikam Art Curator & Artist,  Chhaya Sakhre Classical Singer & Composer among others

Rritu Goel

Seasoned contemporary and abstract artist, Rritu Goel channels her spiritual experiences and meditative insights into vivid and meaningful canvases. Her work often revisits Indian mythology through a modern lens, blending vibrant abstraction with philosophical calm. With over 20 years of exhibition experience, her art continues to reflect themes of peace, positivity, and cultural introspection.

Rosy Guniti

Artist by passion and profession, Rosy Guniti holds a Master’s degree in Biotechnology and began her professional journey in the sciences. However, her true calling led her away from the laboratory and into the vibrant world of art. For Rosy, art is a soulful connection — a language that speaks of joy, emotion, and the colorful journey of life.

Her artistic practice is rooted in the belief that color mirrors the many shades of human experience, and she brings this philosophy to life through her expressive use of canvas, acrylics, and textured finishes. Over the years, she has explored various mediums, but textured acrylics on canvas have remained closest to her heart.

As both an artist and art educator, Rosy finds deep fulfillment in connecting with nature and engaging with people from around the world. Her art is not just a form of expression — it is a celebration of freedom, inner peace, and soulful resonance.

Jyoti Choradiya

A self-taught artist and co-founder of SAF, Jyoti Choradiya’s emotionally charged and symbol-rich paintings embody the essence of harmony and chaos. Drawing from her diverse life across India and abroad, her use of bold colors and flowing lines invites the viewer to explore the connections between self, society, and emotion. Her work is a visual diary of introspection and raw, spiritual exploration.

Itee Jain

An IT professional by training and an artist by heart, Itee Jain brings an impressionist approach to her works, capturing the fleeting beauty of nature. Inspired by Claude Monet, she combines pointillism and mosaic-like techniques in watercolors and acrylics, focusing on the intersection of light, color, and consciousness. Her goal is to make viewers more aware of the natural world and its delicate nuances.

“The Art of Now” is more than an exhibition. It is a convergence of voices, visions, and values. Through the diverse works of Rritu Goel, Rosy Guniti, Jyoti Chordia, and Itee Jain, the show invites viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect — with art, with nature, and with the self. In the vibrant space of Nehru Art Gallery, Mumbai, this exhibition stands as a testament to the transformative power of creativity and the enduring spirit of community.
