The preview event was graced by notable artists Manu Parekh and his wife Madhvi Parekh, along with Kanchan Chander, Jayasri Burman, and others. The exhibition is live on till Sept 7th.
About the exhibition
I) Past Forward: Recent works by Anjaneyulu G
Level 1, Art Alive Gallery
Belonging to Telangana, Anjaneyulu explores remnants of the past, propelling them forward into the present to examine the impact of history on contemporary times. Vessels and objects of the past and present dominate his canvases rendered in a hyper realistic approach. Through the juxtaposition of objects, he aims to capture a dialogue between heritage and contemporary culture.
II) Cabinet of Curiosities, Recent works by Vipul Rathod
Level 2, Art Alive Gallery
Vipul Rathod’s distinct oeuvre is a response to the world around him, his experiences as an artist, thoughts and memories which are encapsulated in a boundless realm of imagination presented as miniature papier-mâché objects housed in self-constructed cabinets. Challenging the convention.
