Curated by art historian Dr Alka Pande, the show is a long-overdue celebration of a life’s work steeped in indigenous traditions, yet speaking powerfully to the modern gaze

A modernist whose work intricately weaves traditional tribal art forms with contemporary aesthetics, Jharkhand-based Haren Thakur’s art reflects a deep engagement with nature, life and spirituality. “The relationship between man and nature forms an integral part of Haren’s visual language,” says show curator Dr Alka Pande.

Amitabh Sengupta’s works have always transcended divisions. This time, the acclaimed artist has brought two very opposite elements of the human civilisation into one exhibition, which is currently on view in Bengaluru. Shared Echoes delves primarily into two of Amitabh Sengupta’s most significant bodies of work — Inscriptions and the Forest Series. His Inscription series depicts script not just as a system of writing but in a metaphorical form — an abstract expression of human creativity and cultural memory.

Swathes of green and a peculiar script beckon you at Shared Echoes, and the longer you gaze on those fonts, the more certain you are of having seen them before. Familiar, and yet new, the raw and primal hand seems to be a cross between hieroglyphics, calligraphy and runes off an ancient manuscript.

Flowers have the power to make you smile wherever you see them — whether straggling upwards on the sidewalk or sitting pretty in a well-arranged vase or dotting a well-kept lawn.

Is the earth alive? This is a question that poets, philosophers, scientists and sociologists have been trying to find the answer to since time immemorial. In the early 1970s, chemist James E. Lovelock and biologist Lynn Margulis came up with the The Gaia Hypothesis. It theorised that the earth is a living organism that regulates and maintains all the natural processes — an entity that is greater than the sum of all of its living and nonliving aspects. If this has caught your intrigue, you must check out a visual representation of the quest in the art exhibition Organic Reverie, which has debuted in town recently at Gallery Time & Space.

“Pottery was the outlet I didn’t know I needed,” says Manisha Gopinath, talking about how a hobby eventually turned into an all-consuming passion. “What surprises me even today is that though I can’t draw, I can create 3D images. It came to me so organically, there is no way of explaining how it came about,” adds the sculptor who has been working with ceramics for the past 15 years.
