Indian watercolor artist Ashish Irap is set to showcase his latest works at the Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, from 2nd to 8th September 2025. The exhibition brings together his internationally recognized pieces along with fresh creations that reflect his deep connection to the city and its culture.
Among the highlights is “Ganpati Aagman”, a vibrant depiction of the grand arrival of Lord Ganesha in Mumbai. The painting bursts with festive energy—the idol glowing in rich hues, devotees gathered in prayer, and the city’s historic and modern landmarks forming the backdrop. Through delicate washes and dynamic strokes, Irap captures not just the visual spectacle but the heartbeat of Ganeshotsav—the spirit of unity, devotion, and joy that defines Mumbai during the festival.
This exhibition comes at a time when Irap’s artistry has been earning international acclaim. His painting “A Wet Day”, portraying Mumbai’s CST. Station during the monsoon, was recently selected for the 45th International Exhibition of the San Diego Watercolor Society (SDWS), USA, qualifying him for the society’s coveted Signature Membership. This was his third consecutive selection by SDWS, a rare achievement that cements his place among the finest watercolorists globally.
His creative brilliance has also been recognized at the Greece Online International Juried Exhibition, where his cityscape “Drone Shoot” received a Merit Award. Meanwhile, his work “Birds’ Point of View” has earned him a place in the July 2025 issue of Splash-26 (USA), marking his third consecutive feature as a finalist in this prestigious international art magazine.
Adding to these honors, Irap also holds Signature Membership with the North East International Watercolor Society (USA), a recognition awarded after consecutive selections and two awards over three years.
