COMPANION Solo Show Of Paintings By Artist Prof. Sunil Tambe In Jehangir Art Gallery

From: 1st to 7th April 2025

“COMPANION”

Solo Show of Paintings by renowned artist Prof. Sunil Tambe

VENUE:

Jehangir Art Gallery

161-B, M.G. Road

Kala Ghoda, Mumbai 400 001

Timing: 11am to7pm.

Contact: +91 9422707842 / +91 7972 838464

A solo exhibition by renowned artist Prof. Sunil Tambe, Principal of S.S.V.P.S. School of Art, Dhule, has been organized at the prestigious Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, from April 1 to April 7, 2025. This exhibition is based on the theme “Saathidar: Timeless Spiritual Longing, the Modern Woman, and Devotion.”

This show was inaugurated on 1st April 2025 by Prabhakar Kolte(eminent artist) in the presence of Kanwaljit Singh(veteran actor), Prakash Bal Joshi, Dolly Thakore, Dr. Sanjay Bhide, Vinay Patil, Vinod Bhadane, Shyambabu Naidu among others.

The exhibition explores the idea that Krishna is not just the ultimate goal of our spiritual journey—he is also our eternal companion. When one is immersed in devotion, an unbreakable attraction towards him arises. The soul longs to see him, to be near him, and to merge into his divine embrace. However, Krishna is not easily perceived by our physical senses; he is entirely spiritual, while our minds remain entangled in worldly attachments. Only through genuine devotion can we transcend to a higher spiritual state and experience his divine presence.

This idea is beautifully expressed in the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 18, Verse 61):

“Ishvarah Sarvabhutanam Hriddeshe Arjuna Tishthati |

Bhramayan Sarvabhutani Yantrarudhani Mayaya ||”

“The Supreme Lord resides in the hearts of all beings, O Arjuna, and directs their wanderings according to their past karma, as if they were mounted on a machine made of material energy.”

Krishna is never far from us; he resides within our hearts, guiding us, waiting for us to turn towards him with devotion and surrender.

From Meera Bai to modern women, the eternal longing for Krishna has remained unchanged. The devotion that once illuminated Meera Bai’s heart still flows in the hearts of young women today. Krishna’s love is beyond the boundaries of time, and so is the longing for him.

Through his paintings, Prof. Tambe has beautifully expressed this eternal devotion. His artworks illustrate that just as Meera Bai was completely immersed in Krishna’s devotion, the modern woman too experiences the same spiritual longing today. The emotions in her eyes, the devotion that permeates her entire being—these paintings are not mere visual representations but profound spiritual experiences brought to life through art.

शानदार ऎक्टर एस के सिंह राजपूत की टीवी से लेकर साउथ सिनेमा तक की अद्भुत यात्रा

भारतीय मनोरंजन इंडस्ट्री में वर्सटाइल ऎक्टर एस के सिंह राजपूत इन दिनों धूम मचा रहे हैं। उनमें अद्भुत प्रतिभा है और अभिनय की अनूठी कला है। टीवी पर मुख्य भूमिकाओं से लेकर उनका सफ़र देखने लायक है।

एस के सिंह राजपूत एक ऐसे अभिनेता हैं जो शोहरत हासिल करते जा रहे हैं। अब वह तमिल, तेलुगु, मलयालम और कन्नड़ सिनेमा में भी कदम रख रहे हैं, उसके लिए वे दक्षिण की भाषाएँ भी सीखने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं। इससे सिद्ध होता है कि वह अपने काम मे कितने परफेक्ट हैं।

कम उम्र से ही एस के सिंह राजपूत का अभिनय के प्रति जुनून बहुत था। इसी ने उन्हें मनोरंजन की दुनिया में पहुँचाया। उन्होंने अपने करियर की शुरुआत टेलीविज़न से की। उन्होंने शुरू में ही मुख्य भूमिका हासिल कर ली। उन्होंने अपने कौशल को निखारने के लिए कड़ी मेहनत की। राजपूत ने कुछ धारावाहिकों में कुछ खास भूमिकाओं के लिए ध्यान आकर्षित किया। इन भूमिकाओं ने उनकी प्रतिभा को उजागर किया।

एस के सिंह राजपूत की विशेषता यह है कि वह अलग-अलग किरदार निभा सकते हैं। वह एक ही तरह के किरदार में नहीं बंधे रहते। यह क्षमता उन्हें एक बेहतरीन अभिनेता बनाती है। वह दर्शकों से भावनात्मक रिश्ता बनाते हैं।

जाने-माने स्टार एस के सिंह राजपूत की भोजपुरी फ़िल्म जगत की पहली फ़िल्म “चोर मचाए शोर” थी। इसे दिग्गज कुणाल सिंह ने प्रोड्यूस किया था। एस के सिंह राजपूत को इस बड़ी भूमिका के लिए तैयार होना पड़ा, जिसमें उन्होंने एक आईपीएस अधिकारी की भूमिका निभाई थी।

तमिल इंडस्ट्री के जाने-माने निर्देशक हरि ने एस के सिंह राजपूत की प्रोफ़ाइल देखने के बाद जब वे उत्तर भारतीय चेहरे की तलाश कर रहे थे, तो उन्होंने उनका ऑडिशन लिया और उन्हें तमिल फ़िल्म पूजई में इंस्पेक्टर की भूमिका की पेशकश की, जिसमें विशाल और श्रुति हसन, बाहुबली के कटप्पा सत्यराज भी थे।

एस के सिंह राजपूत का सफ़र दिलचस्प है। उनके पिछले काम में एक पैटर्न दिखता है। वह हमेशा सीमाओं से आगे बढ़ते हैं। फिलहाल एस के सिंह राजपूत “शिवा 777” हिंदी तमिल फिल्म में मुख्य भूमिका निभा रहे हैं और साथ ही वह खुद को बहुत अनुभवी और बेहतरीन तकनीशियनों के साथ निर्देशित भी कर रहे हैं, जिसमें सचिन करांडे क्रिएटिव डायरेक्टर हैं. और  इनके साथ मधुमिता,  पायल,मुकेश ऋषि, बृज गोपाल,अरुण  गोविल, मुश्ताक खान, राजपाल यादव, मिलिंद गुणाजी, बिंदु दारा सिंह, कुणाल सिंह, आशीष विद्यार्थी, अखिलेंद्र मिश्रा, किरण कुमार,संजय सिंह,पंकज बेरी, आशीष शर्मा, हरीश, नियाज अहमद, बृजेश त्रिपाठी, राम मिश्रा, चांदनी गुप्ता, राम सुजान सिंह हैं. शत्रुघ्न सिन्हा और हेमा मालिनी गेस्ट रोल में होंगे. वह जल्द ही एक लोकप्रिय ओटीटी के लिए कई वेब सीरीज में भी नजर आएंगे और वह निर्देशन भी करेंगे।

एस के सिंह राजपूत को बड़े अभिनेता जैसे प्राण, रज़ा मुराद, ममता कुलकर्णी, तमिल के सत्यराज (कटप्पा), विशाल सुपर स्टार जैसे अभिनेताओं के साथ  काम करने का गौरव भी प्राप्त है।

एस के सिंह राजपूत एक बहुत ही उम्दा कलाकार हैं और अपने किरदार को बहुत विस्तार से पर्दे पर परफॉर्म करते हैं। मुख्य भूमिका वाली इनकी पहली फिल्म “शिवा 777” बहुत जल्द रिलीज होने वाली है।

Santosh More’s Solo Exhibition Echoes of Metaphor at Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai

Mumbai, India – Celebrated contemporary artist Santosh More is poised to unveil his latest solo exhibition, Echoes of Metaphor, at the esteemed Jehangir Art Gallery from 1st April to 6th April. This evocative showcase delves into the fluidity of visual consciousness, where fleeting memories, ethereal harmonies, and the profound vastness of nature coalesce, offering an immersive exploration of abstraction and introspection.

The book How to become a Disciplined artist, written by artist Santosh More, was released and his paintings exhibition was inaugurated on 1st April 2025 by Hon. Guests Brinda Miller, Dolly Thakore, Prof. Anil Naik, Ravi Mandlik, Dilip Ranade, Prakash Bal Joshi among others with the notable presence of eminent artist  Prof. Prabhar Kolte, Vilas Shinde, Yashwant Deshmukh and others.

More’s artistic lexicon is deeply interwoven with his early captivation by the natural world and the cultural vibrancy of his homeland. His compositions manifest as dynamic, formless entities—an interplay of imperceptible forces that converge, dissolve, and reconstitute in silent dialogue. These amorphous structures, shifting and intermingling, resonate with an almost meditative cadence, giving birth to a visual language that transcends the constraints of representation.

In Echoes of Metaphor, More’s work resists definitive interpretation, instead beckoning viewers into an open-ended engagement with ambiguity. His paintings do not dictate meaning but rather invite contemplation, allowing each observer to unearth personal resonances within the interplay of form and space. The exhibition embodies an aesthetic philosophy of surrender and rediscovery—an odyssey into the liminal realms between the tangible and the intangible, between the seen and the unspoken.

With a career spanning over three decades, Santosh More has firmly established himself as a significant voice in contemporary abstraction. A BFA graduate from Mumbai University, his practice is distinguished by its seamless fusion of abstract expression and nuanced metaphorical depth. His works have been exhibited at some of the country’s most prestigious institutions, including Jehangir Art Gallery, CIMA Gallery, Gallery Art & Soul, Gallery Articulate, Gallery Guild, and the Bombay Art Society, earning him wide acclaim and numerous accolades.

“When Passion Becomes Profession, Excellence Is Inevitable”: Resul Pookutty At Indian Institute Of Creative Skills’ Delhi Creators Summit

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela

India’s creative and educational landscape witnessed a defining moment as the Indian Institute of Creative Skills (IICS) hosted the three-day Delhi Creators Summit in the capital, celebrating the immense potential of youth in media, content creation, and digital storytelling. The summit underscored the urgent need for skill-based education aligned with global standards and industry relevance.

Oscar and BAFTA-winning sound designer and Padma Shri awardee Resul Pookutty, who made the nation proud with his Academy Award for Slumdog Millionaire, addressed the summit with heartfelt conviction. “When passion becomes profession, excellence is inevitable,” he declared, urging India’s youth to look inward, identify their true calling, and pursue it relentlessly. Pookutty, who has since worked on landmark films like 2.0, collaborated internationally, and contributed to immersive sound technologies, continues to mentor sound professionals and participate in global forums shaping the future of cinema.

He shared how every child possesses a unique skill but often lacks the opportunity or exposure to recognize and nurture it. Societal or familial pressures often dictate career choices, while true growth happens when one is trained in what they love. He acknowledged the role of the Government of India in recognizing the importance of skill development since 2012 and emphasized the significance of platforms like IICS in shaping a generation of self-aware, creative professionals.

Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO of the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and MD of NSDC International, echoed this vision and spoke of Indian Institute of Creative Skills as a key pillar of the Skill India Mission. He emphasized that the institute is committed to identifying and enhancing the capabilities of every student, offering world-class infrastructure, expert mentorship, and certifications that carry industry weight not only in India but globally.

Dr. (Hon) Mohit Soni, CEO of the Media & Entertainment Skills Council (MESC), elaborated on IICS’s capacity to serve as a global launchpad for India’s creative youth. He highlighted that students will receive industry-oriented training across several creative domains, ranging from performance, sound and music, media management, digital storytelling, communication, and experiential event creation. The institute is designed to ensure that creativity is met with commercial viability and global employability.

Filmmaker Ketaki Pandit added that every video creator today is essentially a filmmaker. The objective, she said, is to refine this raw talent into world-class content creators by providing them the right tools, training, and technical excellence. She stressed that creativity can be an economic engine, and Indian Institute of Creative Skills will ensure its students are empowered both artistically and financially.

Internationally acclaimed makeup artist Yasmin Rogers, who has worked across Bollywood and global cinema, addressed the increasing demand for skilled makeup professionals, especially for on-location shoots. As a mentor, she assured that students graduating from Indian Institute  of Creative Skills will be of high quality and ready to take on both Indian and international assignments, thanks to the institute’s stringent quality and placement standards.

Dr. Akhil Kumar, the driving force behind the Delhi Creators Summit, shared that the event was deliberately inclusive—featuring influencers with millions of followers alongside budding creators. The summit fostered an environment of mutual learning and growth, allowing content creators to evolve collectively. With over 80 creators in attendance and many more showing interest, he said the response was proof of how the content creation ecosystem is thriving. He also noted that government bodies are now recognizing and integrating social media creators into their mainstream campaigns and programs.

The Indian Institute of Creative Skills is not just a training center—it is a vision of modern India where creativity is nurtured, talent is certified, and dreams are transformed into careers with global credibility. As India steps confidently into the future of content, media, and digital storytelling, the institute stands as a beacon of excellence, ready to shape the creators of tomorrow.

Admissions are now open for limited seats in Delhi and Ahmedabad campus. For further details, check out https://www.iicsindia.org/

This will boost Indian films’ international visibility, open doors for co-productions, and increase opportunities for overseas distribution.

IMPPA President Abhay Sinha expressed his excitement, stating:

“The Cannes Film Festival is the ultimate global platform for cinema, offering unmatched exposure and networking opportunities. IMPPA’s goal is to ensure that Indian filmmakers get the recognition they deserve on the international stage.”

Conclusion

IMPPA’s Cannes 2025 participation is a game-changing move for Indian cinema. By making international opportunities more accessible, this initiative will help Indian films reach new markets, forge global partnerships, and elevate their status worldwide.

With Indian cinema’s growing influence, Cannes 2025 will be another milestone moment, proving that Indian films are not just meant for Bollywood but for the global entertainment industry.
