If you love and appreciate nature, here’s a chance to be close to it, through art. Surround yourself with the wonders of nature, and take a ‘Nature Walk’, a showcase of 60 artworks by Anu Singh. The three-day exhibition of paintings and collages is an artistic and magnificent interpretation of picturesque landscapes, with elements of nature.

Singh, a psychologist by profession, and affiliated with American Psychology Association, has done exhibitions across the country and abroad. It was eight years ago that Anu began her journey as an artist, and nature continues to take her places. Anu says she uses gouache, a medium where prints are created on canvas by using Fevicol as base for the colour. Most of the paintings have been made on cardboard, and a spatula is used for painting, to achieve a texture that does justice to her vast subject.

Nature remains a constant source of inspiration for the Chandigarh-based artist, one that gives many dimensions to her works. “Beautiful encounters with nature always fill my heart and art with joy, which gives me the motivation to play with these forms using vibrant colours on paper and also several motifs,” says Anu, who is fascinated with the abundance that we are surrounded by.

The exhibition is on till February 28 at the Government Museum and Art Gallery, from 10 am to 5 pm.
