Renowned artist Nilesh Dada Nikam is showing his recent work series named ‘Inner Tranquility’ at Jehangir Art Gallery, Kala Ghoda, Mumbai from 20th to 26th January 2025. Daily between 11am to 7pm.

This exhibition was inaugurated on 20th January 2025 by Chief Guest Mr. Ajay Maganlal Veera(Partner at Painted Rhythm Art Gallery), Guest of Honour Mrs. Sunita Sanghai(Owner of Vachi Art Gallery) in the presence of many art lovers, art dignitaries among others.

Inner Tranquility is a solo exhibition by the artist Nilesh Dada Nikam, who is renowned for his ability to translate abstract spiritual and religious concepts into evocative visual experiences. Through his latest body of work, Nikam invites viewers to delve into a deep exploration of spirituality, harmony, and the human psyche.

Rooted in abstraction yet pulsating with energy, Nikam’s art captures the essence of Stillness (tranquility) in a chaotic world. His works, characterised by intricate textures, layers of colours, and geometrical and rhythmic forms, evoke a meditative resonance. Using a diverse palette of earthy and ethereal tones, the canvases pulsate with a quiet energy, offering a sensory and contemplative experience.

The title Inner Tranquility reflects the artist’s journey toward achieving a serene equilibrium amid life’s dynamic tensions. Each piece is imbued with a sense of balance, drawing inspiration from the natural world and metaphysical concepts. Nikam’s mastery lies in his ability to balance abstraction and corporeal worlds, allowing viewers to interpret and internalise his art in deeply personal ways.

This exhibition also highlights the artist’s distinctive use of texture, where layers of pigment and gestural strokes create a tactile depth, a mesmerising spiral energetic movement, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the narrative embedded within each canvas. The works serve as a visual sanctuary, urging us to pause, reflect, and connect deeply with our inner selves.

Inner Tranquility is an experience that resonates with the universal quest for peace and understanding. Artist Nilesh Dada Nikam’s unique voice, deeply rooted in spiritual inquiry, promises to captivate both seasoned art connoisseurs and new admirers.

What You will Experience:

This exhibition takes you on an emotional journey through themes like:

• A mother’s relentless pursuit to shape her child’s dreams.
• Her tireless efforts to balance work and family.
• Stories of motherhood in tribal traditions.
• The legacy of nurturing passed down through grandparents.
• Motherly love in Mother Nature, a nurturing force we often take for granted.

Nature as the Universal Mother 

We call her Mother Nature because, like a mother, she gives selflessly – providing us with life-sustaining resources, shelter, and beauty. She mirrors a mother’s care, strength, and sacrifices. Yet, as humanity prospers, we often neglect and exploit her generosity.

This exhibition sheds light on this delicate relationship, urging viewers to reflect on the ways we can honor and protect the planet we call home. The theme reminds us that nurturing our natural world is as crucial as cherishing the mothers who raise us.

An Invitation to Feel and Reflect 

“Motherhood is not just a relationship; it’s a constant presence guiding us through life’s every phase,” says Devendra. This exhibition invites you to reflect on the true meaning of a mother’s love—be it from the one who gave us life or from the Earth that sustains us.

VOY-AGE

Solo Show of Paintings

Renowned artist Swati Roy

VENUE:

Nehru Centre Art Gallery

Timining: 11am to 7pm

Recent work of a luminary from Govt College of Art and Craft and a renowned contemporary artist Swati Roy is showing  in a solo art exhibition at Nehru Centre Art Gallery, Dr. Annie Besant Road, Worli, Mumbai 400 018 from 19^th to 25^th November 2024. This series made in watercolours on art paper using Gouche technique will exemplify subtle nuances of her skillful application of apt colours in thoughtful pragmatic thematic perceptions.

Swati Roy had her art education upto diploma in fine arts followed by diploma in Indian style drawing and painting from Govt. College of Art and craft, Kolkata. Then she displayed her thematic work in solo and group art exhibitions at renowned galleries all over India such as Academy of Fine Arts, Kolkata, Lalit Kala Academy New Delhi etc.

The present series VOY-AGE highlights subtle nuances of the thematic conceptualizations based on fundamental concepts and their skillful application via apt colour tones to suit thematic peculiarities. Her works have a magical sensibility via essence of both Indian and Western arts. Perfections in her style command over the medium and techniques   adopted and expertise in presenting non figurative abstraction compositions are commendable. Her work is in the genre of classic modernism and expressionism which are bold pictorials of her deepest thought. Her thoughts & Inspiration received from nature find a prominent place in the creative endeavors.

Her faith in phenomenal nature as the ultimate source of forms and configuration, duly reflects in the creation by selection of the recollected memories of the observed contents as configuration of colour-masses with shapes defined by contour lines on dimensional pictorial surface divided into flat colour areas. These shapes and spaces being the residues of images of the phenomenal terrains, sky, land, roads, plants etc become expressive. The various contour lines with which she encloses the shapely colour masses endow the shapes with a strange kind of organic rhythm thereby rendering expressionism to the work. In a way her works are at a junction between representationalism, formalism and expressionism. She has adopted suggestive colours and common symbols upheld by plastic rhythm and inventive shapes. The insistent flowing vegetative rhythms of semi-abstract and abstract combinations find a significant place in her creations which are both eloquent and lucid as well as thematically relevant.
