The art exhibition ‘Mumbai contemporaries’ is a feast to the eyes, and a riot of colours. Ten contemporary artists from Mumbai have each captured the essence of a different aspect of Indian culture.

Mumbai contemporaries’, an art exhibition at Alankritha art gallery presents different colours, which capture various aspects of the day-to -day life in the business capital of India. The show will be on till May 31

Anand Panchal, Gautam Mukherjee, Jagannath Paul, Prakash Deshmukh, Sanjay Raut, Dattatraya Thombare, HR Das, Om Swami, Sampa Paul and Sujata Achrekar have all showcased their works.

In Anand Panchat's work the face of pundits shows the inner nature, which is silent and soft. The facial expressions and the subtle movement of the fingers together harmonise into a poetic rhythm to create a colour palette that is bright and one can feel the liveliness in the overall ambience of the work. Jagannath Paul's paintings of mysterious faces whisper silently, making us look closer and think deeper.

Through her work, Datta Thombare reflects on the life of women in society and their responsibilities, which gives us a sense of the mystery that reflects the human mind and nature. Or one can see a simplistic portrayal of everyday life.

Gautham Mukherjee's figurative painting replicates a colourful typical Indian family and defines gender stereotypes. HR Das' Bulls on the other hand evoke a lot of contradictory emotions: Unkempt power, unexpected nurture and suppressed magnificence are just some of those emotions.

The romantic couple sitting with flutes reminds us of love story in moonlight and amidst lotus. Prakash Deshmukh presented a dreamy land through this painting. Om Swami’s work from his series ‘Love Sutra' too evokes similar emotion.

Sanjay Raut’s Brahmin children, Sampa Paul’s horses, and Sujata Achrekar’s faces, are represented using unique texturing and a wide colour palette. This lively collection of artworks is sure to capture the hearts of the viewers. The exhibition is sure to leave a deep and lasting effect of Mumbai in Hyderabad.
