"Antarang" Reflection on the Works of Dr. Supriya Fulare-Dudhal at Jehangir Art Gallery
The word “Antarang” evokes a serene wave that gently flows through the mind. This wave descends into the soul through colors, forms, and emotions. Dr. Supriya Fulare-Dudhal’s exhibition is a contemplative journey of the spirit, tracing the path from the restless mind (Maan) to the boundless inner self (Antarang).

Hosted at Mumbai’s Jehangir Art Gallery, the exhibition invites art enthusiasts to engage in an intimate dialogue with their inner selves. According to art critic Rakhee Ardakar, Dr. Supriya’s works carry meaning beyond the visual. They do not merely appeal to the eye; they touch the very core of the soul. Each stroke seems to anchor the mind, each shade communicates directly with the spirit.
Dr. Supriya Dudhal is an acclaimed artist listed in the Limca, Asia, and India Books of Records. Her works are distinguished by their unique color compositions, deep emotional resonance, and spiritual energy. A devout follower of Lord Ganesha, she believes that every artwork is a medium of divine dialogue. Her contributions to rangoli art are remarkable, especially in Poster Rangolis and Kangra miniature paintings, where she has established a distinct identity.
She holds an M.F.A. and a Ph.D. in Applied Arts from Nagpur University and has been conferred a Double Doctorate by the World Record University. She has also completed a short course in the works of the legendary artist Pablo Picasso in London, further broadening her global artistic perspective.
She had a solo show of paintings “Shades of Lambodara” at Nehru Art Centre London. She had group show art elements 3 at Into Arts – Art Gallery, Sydney, Australia & at Josselin, France.
Currently, Dr. Supriya serves as Associate Professor at Vasantdada College of Engineering & Visual Arts, Mumbai. Previously, she was Senior Graphic Designer at Verve Digital Technologies, Pune, and has taught at several prestigious art institutions in Nagpur and Pune.
Her work reflects both technical mastery and spiritual depth. Colors become meditative, lines breathe, and every piece draws the viewer inward. “Antarang” prompts profound questions: Who am I? What lies at the core of my being? Through colors, strokes, and mindful observation, viewers experience a union with their inner self.
According to Dr. Supriya, every act of creation is a dialogue with the divine. Her artworks prioritize devotion over decoration, weaving invisible threads that connect the observer to the universe through rangoli patterns or flowing brushstrokes.
“Antarang” is not merely an exhibition of paintings; it is a spiritual experience. It calms the mind, engages the intellect, and touches the soul. This is a journey—one that peers into the inner world and leads toward unity with the self.

79-Year-Old Artist Shailaja S. Kamat Brings Cityscapes & Nature to Life in Solo Exhibition
At 79, Mumbai-based artist Shailaja S. Kamat continues to paint with the curiosity of a beginner and the confidence of a seasoned hand. Her upcoming solo exhibition, Beyond the Shapes, will be on view at Leela Art Gallery, Mumbai, from 27th October to 2nd November, showcasing a collection of cityscapes and nature-inspired works that reflect her enduring fascination with structure, rhythm, and balance. What makes Kamat’s journey remarkable is not just her talent, but her unwavering dedication to art… an energy that seems only to grow stronger with time. Drawing more from imagination than reference, her paintings unfold like visual conversations with the world around her.

Kamat’s tryst with art began when she was barely eight or ten, painting greeting cards and experimenting with watercolours as a simple childhood hobby. What started as play soon grew into a lifelong passion. With no formal training, she painted purely out of love until encouragement from those around her inspired her to take it more seriously. Under the mentorship of well-known artist and art teacher Satyendra Rane, she refined her technique and discovered her own visual language in acrylics. Over the years, she has developed a distinctive style - vibrant cityscapes that balance order with emotion, and structure with spontaneity.

In Beyond the Shapes, Kamat explores the relationship between the built environment and nature - the dynamic interplay between concrete and calm, between manmade order and organic beauty. “My exhibition explores the diverse architecture and landscapes of the nation,” she says. “While its central focus is on the built environment, from the dense geometry of cities to the serene structures of rural villages and temples, it also incorporates works of nature and flora. Through this juxtaposition, I invite viewers to consider the relationship between human construction and the natural world.”
Having exhibited her works across India and Dubai, Kamat’s journey in architectural art has been shaped by years of close observation and experimentation. “My move to cityscape art was a natural progression of a lifelong passion,” she shares. “From a young age, I was captivated by architectural design and the different ways light plays on structures. I try to translate those observations, sometimes literally, sometimes abstractly, into colour and form. The process is deeply meditative, and the emotion that emerges through vibrant hues gives me immense joy and fulfilment.”
Created over the last four years or so, the show features approximately 25 to 30 works in acrylic and watercolour, varying in size and composition. “It has taken me about eight to ten years to put all these works together. Each painting represents a stage of learning, growth, and discovery”, she concludes.
Shailaja S Kamat’s art show ‘Beyond the Shapes’ will be on display at Leela Art Gallery, The Leela, Andheri (E), Mumbai, from 27th October to 2nd November 2025
