Art Exhibition
A Hyderabad art exhibition focuses on Nature, nostalgia and human versus animal conflicts
“My work is not born in studios but from my frequent road journeys across India,” says New Delhi-based artist Shampa Sircar Das. In their depiction of Nature, her surreal paintings borrow from her observations of flora, fauna, folklore and culture from the villages of Ladakh, Spiti Valley, the Northeastern States, and temples of South and East India. Like the swans and lotuses in her Hansa series of paintings, she hopes that people who dwell in urban pockets will find peace despite the murky environment. Shampa is among the artists to participate in the Whispers of Nature exhibition at Kalakriti Art Gallery, Hyderabad.
Curated by Ruchi Sharma, Whispers of Nature also features artworks by Alpesh Dave, Afza Tamkanat, Avijit Dutta, Chetana Vagh, Dushyant Patel, Manisha Agarwal and Vijay Sharma. The paintings present vignettes of Nature through diverse artistic expressions, capturing seasonal transitions and human interaction with the environment.
