About A Symphony of Emotions:

Emotions are the life-force that rule us all. And when we speak of positive emotions, they can be strung together or like the domino-effect, can swirl into a symphony. This exhibition underlines the waves of positive emotions that run through these artists and their creations.

About the Artists:

Anjali Mehta: Inspired by everything she sees and experiences around her, Anjali’s paintings stem from her everyday tidings. Having dabbled in all mediums like pastels, drawing ink, pen, charcoal, and gold leaf, besides acrylic which forms her base medium, she has developed a distinctive style of working in layers, often employing the colour wash technique and the underpainting technique with acrylic paints. Her bright and happy colours and compositions narrate stories of her joys, dreams, emotions, and relationships.

Ayushi Jain: Ordinary folk and their vocations touch a chord deep and constitute the current series of Ayushi’s work. “My creations visually communicate the thoughts and emotions of ordinary people’s daily life, stories and routines. My work is inspired by the close observations of the minutiae of existence and examination of objects encountered in our milieu”, informs Ayushi. Her creative approach is driven by the desire to balance both - realistic and contemporary always drawing attention to the mellifluous beauty of daily life that leaves a lasting impression in the viewer's eyes. She uses the brush, palette knife, and her fingers to draw out the essence of her simple and quiet compositions!

Dipti Nikam: Here is an artist who is greatly influenced by the tribal art of Warli. Their nomadic lifestyles, their simple living, warmth, celebration-of-life outlook... find room in her canvas paintings in themes and backdrops that emerge from a fertile imagination that culls the real and dabbles in the make-believe, bringing them to the viewer in a mix of colour, texture and detail that is Dipti’s signature. While the paintings take one away from the authentic Warli art of the tribe, which is categorically done in an umber backdrop with white figures; Dipti’s stylised Warli is colourful, plays with texture, sometimes three-dimensional faces and figures and always underlined by joie-de-vivre!

Kavita Tambolkar: A self-taught artist, Kavita ‘s paintings are characterized by vibrant colours and strong emotions. The features that stand out in all her paintings are her protagonists’ expressive eyes and smooth finished facial expressions. “I try to blend my subjects in colour coordinated surroundings, moving towards an abstract world of ‘emotion-scapes’, explains Kavita, adding that it is her innermost feelings that find place in myriad forms across each canvas. Within each of her painting resides either a carefree daughter, a loving sister, a graceful lover, a dutiful wife, a caring mother, or a loyal friend. These emotions bring her figures to life!

Madhuri Gayawal: Interpersonal relationships and the range of human emotions form the crux of Madhuri’s women-centric paintings. With a marked affinity for blues, greens, and oranges, she dabbles primarily in oil on canvas. Madhuri considers her art as therapeutic that helps her tide through the hard times in life. So, her choice of colours is mainly to calm one’s turbulent thoughts and energise one’s mood.

Monica Ghule: Close-knit relationships are the focus of Monica’s paintings as she time and again relives her childhood memories. The artist feeds her imaginary longing for sisterhood and friendship becomes an often-visited subject. A unique style defines all her paintings as she has honed this style of juxtaposing patterns to create an intangible textural quality in her work. Details show prominence, hinting at the sensitivity and depth of the artist’s emotional oeuvre.

Priyanka Chivate Shendge: Indian and Indian-ness hold a special place for Priyanka. Quite naturally, her characters and her paintings are wholly seeped in Indian cultural overtures. She uses the woman as her muse, celebrating her intrinsic beauty, her fortitude, and her visage among other things. Wheatish complexion, traditional attire, festivities, domestic chores, and celebratory finery become subjects that fill her canvases with interesting narratives as Priyanka uses a multitude of details to tell her stories.

Ramesh Deshmane: With the man-woman relationship as his leitmotif, Deshmane communicates his musings at times, through a series of linear drawings and at others, through a vivid, textured scenario; either way, it is singularly characteristic of a beguiling rhythm and spontaneity. The artist’s growing dialogue with his characters is depicted through a series of facial expressions that hold a mirror to the innermost recesses of the soul. The strength of his brush work mingles with experimental evolution in technique, applying and re-applying colour as he forays into a contemporaneous visual presentation.

Ranjeet Sathe: Love – the ultimate emotion – is what characterises Ranjeet’s paintings. Deeply moved by the emotion, the artist seeks and expresses its essence through depictions of everyday life and culture. “I always explore the emotional links between poetry and painting”, he says, “It is like picking two different flowers from the same field to form a bouquet, and each one should be beautifully paired, complimenting one another aesthetically”. His paintings too are one such expression that puts the human centre-stage, highlighted by a layered but stark backdrop – always pleasing to the eye, celebrating the positive emotion!
