Impressions, observations, and opinions metamorphose into art, as a response to nature, pastoral and urban spaces, people, issues of identity and gender, faith, legends, mythology, and politics. Thematically diverse, we showcase masters of Indian modern and contemporary art, forging a conversation through paintings, prints, sketches, and sculptures. 

 

We see the impact of changing times, the influence of mentors and schools, of travel and cultural exchange on the artists and their work through the representation of the body, of exuberant form, and of attention paid to human experience. The works highlight vulnerability, challenge misogyny, celebrate bravery, and quietly witness the world, all with exceptional technical and stylistic panache. 

 

Trained in an art school or self-taught, these accomplished artists have a unique voice, even as the work reflects the zeitgeist of their time. It is this resonance that Antarang seeks to bring to the fore in the annual exhibition.
