| New Delhi: A story is best narrated in a series - be it in movies, books or art.
An exhibition by a group of senior contemporary artists "Expressions... of our times" at the Visual Arts Gallery in the capital's India Habitat Centre features at least eight series in continuous narratives of single themes.
A series of four paintings depicting the avatars of Lord Vishnu by Ajay Zharotia stands out for the fluid lines, vivid colours and surreal images of the Vamana (the dwarf) and the Varaha (the pig) incarnations of Vishnu.
"Art is a language. Ever since I opened up to Prakriti (nature), my mind has become more visual. Every thought becomes a picture," says the artist.
Another series that creates a complex web between human figures and environment is a Laxman Aelay's "The River Underneath".
The five-day show opened on May 27.(IANS) |
