A breakthrough is a state of transcendence. It defines an iconic moment in someone’s life, where one arrives at an elevated state of being – mental, physical or spiritual. Neerajj Mittra’s solo show “Breakthrough” represents this state in his creative journey. A horse bears the testimony of human civilization. It represents times of war and peace; change and continuum; rise and fall. To Mittra, the horse is no longer a mere subject, but a conduit through which he explores his deepest desires and aspirations. This horse traverses through a myriad world of beauty, grace and intrigue created by him. With a powerful forward motion, it is breaking through all the barriers of the past, challenging the present and moving towards the future. For the first time the horse is not his idol, but a companion. Mittra deepens this inquiry through a prolific body of work which includes drawings, paintings and sculptures.

Expressions of human emotions were profoundly conceptualized in the ancient Indian aesthetic tradition of the rasas. Artist Nawal Kishore drew upon this age-old philosophy to infuse authenticity and depth into his paintings. Kishore’s solo show, “The Aesthetic View,” created a tapestry of life with the concepts of love, beauty, and bonding. In a world seeking kindness and understanding, Kishore’s portrayal of human relationships held special relevance. His subjects, with their nuanced body language, resonated with sensitivity and compassion. The angularity of the compositions created a sense of balance and poise, while the delicate treatment of color and light crafted an ethereal ambiance. Somewhere in the background of each composition lay a subtle presence of the divine. Nawal Kishore’s work beautifully illustrated the soul’s longing for a connection with a higher power, embodying sophistication and sensuality in its portrayal. The convergence of these elements in “The Aesthetic View” offered an enriching artistic experience for all.
