Nurtured by Nature

Titled “Insight ‘11” the exhibition at Punjab Kala Bhawan showcases various moods of nature and women. If celebrated artist Surjit Kaur brings forth a woman’s emotions and her connect to nature,Shashi K Rampal reflects the dichotomy between looking and perceiving through works that capture landscapes and flowers.

As for Sukhvinder Singh,an art teacher,his collection in mixed media,shows Budha in meditative form. Done in shades of grey,they inspire one to introspect. Also,inspiring spirituality is Lalita Sharma’s Gayatri Mantra, with Hindi shlokas written on a painting of Lord Shiva.

Manifesting memories through her works is Kuljit Kaur,who brings abstract scenes from nature. “The idea is to depict harmonies of nature. The silent moods,the furious motions,the tranquil depths and pleasant peaks,” says Kaur. Taljit Singh showcases his works,which are also available in digital prints — abstracts in water colours,where bright hues merge to bring forth paintings of birds and women.

“Our works are amalgamation of diverse experiences. It is a visual realisation of feelings and sensibilities,”says Suruchi,an artist. In one of her works titled Bride, one can clearly see the face of the bride but cannot make out if she’s happy,sad or anxious.

The exhibition is on at Punjab Kala Bhawan,Sector 16,till November 25
