Our team met with Kishore Pratim Biswas at his studio at Mira Road East, having a great experience of Nostalgia of Indian Steam Locomotive which is a series of painting by kishore. Kishore share his experience with the Steam Locomotives; That time, Kishore was around 5 to 6 years old. He lived in a place where the locomotives travel around. And he was always running out to watch them and loved to sketch them. This was Kishore's old memory of childhood. He try to recall that and translate into the canvas. That is how the series of " NOSTALGIA OF STEAM LOCOMOTIVES" has come up... Presently there is no Steam Locomotive around us. You might be seen in the museum or other places as antic. My idea is to percent those locomotives to the new generation through this exhibition. This is a Nostalgia of YOU & KISHORE…

Prakash Bal Joshi  Curator Milind Sathe will present Prakash Bal Joshi\'s art works related with environment changes depicted in unique style. The event will coincide with the World Environment Day Paintings, ink-drawings and sketches by Prakash Bal Joshi, a Mumbai (India)-based artist, reflect a recurring theme—the transient nature of life and the Nature itself.    His ink or pen-on- paper sketches and drawings portray massive changes in the urban landscape brought on by development that reflect two self-contradictory movements—rise in material comforts and fall in values. Some of   them show in subdued hues human emotions like love and disillusionment while a few others simply convey the complications of human mind through a series of mazes.    Using oil on canvas, Joshi’s powerful brush strokes bring alive through abstract forms the subtle realities that lie behind the outer look of different objects like b...

Nishant Dange’s charcoal and acrylic painting  Nishant Dange’s charcoal and acrylic paintings are an ode to the ethereal female form in all its natural beauty and elegance. Dange's bold and discerning figures fuse with intricate butterflies and birds. Using dark charcoal, the artist adds drama to the moment, striking a contrast with bold primary colours.   Artist Nishant Dange was a gold medalist in his art college in Nagpur. The man loves to work in one of the most challenging mediums — charcoal. Nishant says, “Charcoal is my favourite medium. It is very simple and also powerful and strong.  It is also an extremely challenging medium because it is just one black stick that one is working with and there are no other colours. It has its own limitations, but to be able to create something beautiful out of that is extremely satisfying.”
