Art Exhibition
Art exhibition in Pune closes the year with colourful, pleasant narratives
“We have always believed in, as curators, in showcasing works that are positive, full of colour and have a pleasant narrative,” says Sapna Kar as the annual art exhibition, Contemporary Signatures, gets ready to open in Pune.
To be held at Monalisa Kalagram in Koregaon Park between November 24 and December 3, the exhibition features works by more than 50 artists that are tied by the thread of happiness “whether it is via the colour, subject, shared appearance or grandeur”.
The biggest art showcase in the city, Contemporary Signatures began in 2021 with the aim of bringing signature works of eminent and up-and-coming artists under one roof to Pune. There are displays by masters of the form, such as K G Subramanyan, Krishen Khanna, and Ram Kumar. This year, the exhibition includes two new features— a section, Think Big, which includes around 35 works that are over 15 square feet and fit for the large homes that can still be found in Pune.
