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 19th to 25th 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.

Pradip Maitra’s Upcoming Solo Exhibition – ‘Illusion and Reality’
Renowned for his emotive watercolours, senior artist Pradip Maitra showing his recent work series named ‘Illusion and Reality’, offering a profound meditation on the cultural and intellectual upheaval spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic. Maitra’s new series was conceived during the 2019-2020 lockdown, marked by global isolation, anxiety, and uncertainty. Like countless others, Maitra found himself confined to his home, grappling with depression and confusion. The previously comforting books underwent a metamorphosis, unsettling him as they seemed to animate and encircle him in a stark embodiment of knowledge confined and remote.
While exploring his daughter’s college library later, he chanced upon a secluded section where valuable manuscripts lay abandoned, their significance fading amidst the hustle and bustle of contemporary society. Maitra’s ‘Book and Lock’ series is founded upon this discovery, exploring the vulnerability of cultural traditions and the increasing conflict between preservation and oblivion. Maitra’s works explore technology’s dominance during the lockdown, using the lock as a subtle metaphor for barriers to ancestral knowledge.
Born in 1959 in West Bengal, Pradip Maitra earned his BFA from the Indian College of Art in 1984. A committed freelance artist, he has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions, both in India and internationally. As a longstanding member of the Society of Contemporary Artists, Kolkata, since 1988, his work has been displayed at prestigious institutions such as the Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai, the Nehru Centre, and in global cities like Bangkok and Hong Kong. Maitra’s art is a part of prominent collections, including the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi, and the Museum of Bengal Art, Kolkata.
‘Illusion and Reality’ invites audiences to contemplate the delicate interplay between safeguarding our cultural legacies and the march of modernity.

The Metal Canvas Stone: Triveni of Art
Art exhibition is a confluence of distinct artistic expressions and mediums, offering a unique experience for art enthusiasts in Mumbai. Showcased at the Jahangir Art Gallery, this exhibition features the works of four renowned artists: Asurvedh, Vijaya Ved, Manisha Sanchihar, and Hemant Joshi. Their collective efforts revolve around invoking empathy and exploring both the physical and mental conditions of human existence through art. While Manisha’s abstract work leans heavily on symbolism, the other three artists present figurative forms, creating a direct and immediate connection with viewers.
This show was inaugurated on 24th September 2024 by Chief Guest Sanjay Puri, Sanjay Puri Architects Principal Architect Mumbai in the presence of Rupesh & Archana Baid Principal Interior Architect & Design Co. Mumbai, Rajendra Patil President, The Bombay Art Society, Prof. Dr. Milind Dhobley Dean Faculty of Fine Arts MOT ADT Uni. Pune, Maharashtra
Asurvedh’s art captures the overlooked moments of everyday life, particularly focusing on the marginalized individuals who are often unseen in the bustle of urban life, such as children selling balloons at traffic signals. Through his sculptures, Asurvedh freezes these fleeting moments of human dynamism, urging viewers to take notice of the lives that often go unnoticed. His art transforms the mundane into something profound, turning these everyday scenes into still, yet expressive, sculptural forms that encourage reflection on the world we ignore.
Vijaya Ved’s artwork embarks on a journey of self-illumination, where she delves into both the tangible and intangible aspects of human existence. Her art resonates with themes of self-awareness, spirituality, and the human connection to the infinite. By portraying the emotional and spiritual relationships in life, she transcends the physical limitations of the body, aiming to illuminate the boundless nature of the soul. Her evolution as an artist reflects a shift from depicting life’s emotional ties to a deeper immersion into self-exploration through nature, revealing a universal quest for inner enlightenment.
Manisha Sanchihar presents an abstract exploration of the inner self, challenging traditional boundaries and highlighting the intricate relationship between attachment and detachment. Through her abstract expressionism, she portrays the boundlessness of the mind and emotions. Manisha’s work suggests a deeper connection with self-expression, illustrating how abstraction can still carry powerful, introspective emotions. Her art invites viewers into a space where distinctions between being and non-being dissolve, offering a moment of introspection and encouraging self-discovery.
Hemant Joshi’s sculptures emphasize the inner essence of forms rather than their outer appearances. Working predominantly in abstract stone sculptures, he seeks to uncover the deeper, hidden realities of objects and beings. His use of different stones to create harmonious compositions reflects a transformative process—one that imbues lifeless materials with a sense of boundless interpretation and beauty. Through this abstraction, Hemant’s sculptures reveal new dimensions and meanings, evoking endless possibilities for viewers to explore.
Overall, the exhibition presents a compelling narrative of human existence, self-awareness, and the interplay between the visible and the unseen. Through a diverse range of mediums—sculpture, painting, and abstract forms—these artists provide a profound commentary on the human condition, inviting empathy and introspection in their audiences.
