"UTSRIJI" A Group Exhibition of Paintings by 10 contemporary renowned artists at Jehangir Art Gallery.

 Utsriji: An Ancient Way of Communication brings together ten artists from across eastern India in a compelling group exhibition at Jehangir Art Gallery, presenting a vibrant confluence of contemporary expressions rooted in lived experience and cultural memory.

Organised under the aegis of Utsriji Satsang - a collective established in 1991, this exhibition features works by artists Paban Roy, Tapan Karmakar, Fulla Chandra Mistri, Shiladitya Basak, Malay Dutta, Indrajit Ghosh, Riti Sundar Roy, Ranajit Jana, Subhrajit Dutta, and Mrinal Saha. Each artist contributes a distinct visual language, yet together they form a cohesive narrative that reflects both individuality and shared sensibilities.

The exhibition unfolds as an eclectic rainbow spectrum, ranging from finely detailed figurative compositions and symbolic portraiture to textured abstractions and layered mixed-media works. Themes of devotion, memory, rural life, mythology, and contemporary aspiration surface repeatedly, often interwoven with a strong narrative impulse. Whether it is the quiet dignity of human figures, the symbolic presence of animals and nature, or the interplay of colour and surface, the works resonate with an immediacy that is both accessible and evocative.

What emerges is not merely a display of artworks, but a dialogue, between regions, generations, and modes of seeing. The exhibition underscores art as a timeless communicative force, one that transcends language while remaining deeply anchored in context.

Utsriji invites viewers to engage with this diverse showcase and experience the many ways in which art continues to connect, reflect, and endure.

“WHISPERS IN THE WILD” An Exhibition of Paintings by Vyoma Parikh at Jehangir Art Gallery

Vyoma Parikh’s paintings unfold as immersive, sensorial environments where landscape is not described but felt. Working with a refined interplay of oil and acrylic, she constructs surfaces that shimmer with layered detail, delicate constellations of colour, cascading vertical rhythms, and tonal shifts that evoke forests, water, and flowering terrains without ever settling into fixed geography. Her canvases hold a quiet dynamism, where density and translucency coexist, allowing light, texture, and form to move fluidly across the surface.

Artist: Vyoma Parikh

What distinguishes her work is this ability to balance intricacy with atmosphere. The repeated vertical elements suggestive of trees, rain, or veils, create a hypnotic structure, while the richly worked grounds, composed of countless minute marks, build a sense of depth that draws the viewer inward. Within these expansive fields, subtle figurative presences, animals, fleeting forms emerge gently, offering moments of pause and scale without interrupting the overall harmony.

There is an unmistakable lyricism to her palette. Whether in the warmth of gold-infused compositions or the softness of pastel-hued expanses, colour in Vyoma’s work is not merely descriptive but experiential, carrying emotional resonance and quiet intensity. The paintings invite deep looking, rewarding attention with shifting perceptions and layered discoveries.

Rooted in a strong foundation of training and informed by her wide-ranging cultural exposure, Vyoma has developed a visual language that is both accessible and contemplative. Her works extend an invitation into a world where reality softens, and perception becomes a more intuitive, reflective act; one that lingers well beyond the first encounter.
