In a world that moves with lightning speed, where struggles unfold in the humdrum and resilience feels like routine, art becomes more than just a reflection and becomes a witness to the changing world.
Harmony, the latest exhibition at Bikaner House, is exactly that. Through a confluence of modern masters and contemporary visionaries, the exhibition captures the pulse of the fast-moving society, which struggles with urban chaos, personal battles, and the silent poetry of survival.
An exclusive art show presented by Gallery Silver Scapes at Delhi’s Bikaner House, LTC Hall, and open for public viewing from March 16 to 20, the exhibition showcases 100 years of Indian art while bridging the legacy of modern masters with contemporary artists.
This art exhibition is curated by Vikram Mayor of Gallery Silver Scapes who has brought together a stunning collection of artworks that showcases the innovative and imaginative spirit of both modern and contemporary artists.
“Harmony is not just an exhibition, but a dialogue between the past and the present, where the masters and the contemporaries come together to create a new language, a new harmony. It not only celebrates the rich cultural heritage of India but also underscores the country’s thriving art scene,” said Vikram Mayor.
The exhibitor is curated around the theme of “The Fusion of Modern and Contemporary art” and showcases the work of traditional masters such as Jamini Roy, AA Almelkar, and Suhas Roy, alongside modern artists such as Bimal Das Gupta, F.N. Souza, S.H. Raza, and Akbar Padamsee.
The spotlight of the art exhibition is mainly on the works of Anita Roy Chowdhury, one of India’s pioneering female abstractionists, whose contribution to Indian modern art remains significant and yet underrepresented.
Though the spotlight of the exhibition is Anita Roy, Harmony has provided a platform for emerging voices and artists featuring works of Jitendra Dangi, Anil Vishwakarma, Pravin Utge, and Shanaka Kulathunga, offering them an opportunity to showcase their work to the world alongside India’s legendary artists.
The exhibition showcases around 100 works that draw inspiration from the city of temples, Varanasi, the lives of women, their struggles, motherhood, femininity, and the resilience of the working class. The exhibition presents a diversity of opinion and art while binding them with the common theme of modernity, creating a ‘Harmony’.
