India Habitat Centre in Delhi recently organized an art exhibition called Ashtkala at the Open Palm Gallery. The show commenced on February 10 and concluded on February 14. As they say, creativity paints the sky pink in the world of colours and art ignites the imagination and transfers the beholder in a different world altogether. This was true for the eight artists coming from different cities like Mumbai, Jabalpur and Delhi successfully expressed this spirit of joy in their artworks.
The exhibition was inaugurated by Sajal Patra and Ajay Kumar Samir both known for their celebrated art works. The artists who exhibited their works were Akanksha Thakur, Nilangee Prabhukeluskar, Sharmila Sharma, Sheetal Bawkar, Sunita Chauhan, Sunil Vinekar, Ushita Jain and Vivek Prabhukeluskar.
Here, we highlight the artists and their works:
Akanksha Thakur: Coming from Jabalpur, MP, Akanksha presented a series of 14 paintings revolving around the theme of nature and its five elements. An amalgamation of canvas and paper, texture and shapes in her depiction was inspiring.
