New Delhi : A group of young artists have decided to salute the nation on its 60th year of Independence through their own language – art.
Hailing from across the country, the group of 26 artists are presenting an exhibition titled ‘Independent India – an art show of the new era artists’, conceptualised and organised by the Ati Art Gallery.
“All the artists are young in age but established names in their chosen mediums of art. They have portrayed their interpretation of modern Independent India,” said Aarti Sarin Jain of Ati Art Gallery.
The exhibition will be on Aug 11-13 at the Alliance Francaise and then move to Ati Art Gallery Aug 15-21.
Seema Kohli’s piece titled “The Golden Womb” puts across her perception of freedom through spiritualism. Her canvas celebrates freedom, not only of the nation but also from human bondage and inner suffering.
If spiritualism is Kohli’s forte, it’s the all-pervading issue of urbanisation that lights up Samit Das’s canvas with a portrayal of cities and dynamic development within the country.
Some of the other artists participating in the exhibition are Kavita Jaiswal, Tapan Dash, Suman Roy, Gurdeep Singh and George Martin.
