Alka Bhrushundi’s ‘Athaha’ does not merely contemplate infinity; it constructs it.

In her works, blue is not a backdrop to devotion but a spatial field in which matter, energy, and consciousness appear suspended. The paintings move between vortex and void, between cellular intricacy and cosmic scale. Spirals open like primordial galaxies. Orb-like forms hover as if embryonic worlds. Vein-like calligraphic tracings pulse across surfaces, suggesting neural networks, river deltas, or unseen cosmological diagrams. The language is abstract, yet unmistakably organic.

The artist’s earlier engagement with devotional figuration has not disappeared; it has evolved. What once required an image now unfolds as vibration. The divine is no longer personified but diffused, circulating through colour, texture, and atmosphere. Blue dominates, but it is not singular. It deepens into indigo, fractures with rusted orange, glows with quiet gold. It carries both immersion and combustion.

There is a compelling tension in these works: density and lightness coexist. Feathers drift across turbulent grounds. Gold fissures cut through planetary masses. Mist veils intricate structures beneath. The compositions feel simultaneously microcosmic and macrocosmic; as if we are witnessing the inside of a cell and the birth of a universe in the same breath.

‘Athaha’ proposes infinity not as escape, but as interior expansion. These paintings ask the viewer to recalibrate scale, to consider that vastness may reside within the smallest pulse of awareness. In an era of distraction and speed, this work insists on sustained looking. It resists narration and instead offers immersion.

Infinity here is not decorative mysticism. It is a disciplined exploration of energy, stillness, and threshold. Stand before these works long enough, and the boundary between outer cosmos and inner landscape begins to thin.

This show was inaugurated on 3rd March 2026 by Honourable Guests Shri Rajendra Patil (President -The Bombay Art Society, Founder – India Art Festival), Prof. Dr. Ganesh Tartare(Sir, J.J. School of Art, Mumbai), Shri Rishiraj Sethi (CA, CFA; Director – Aura Art eConnect Pvt.Ltd), Prof. Him Chatterjee( Vice chancellor,  J. J. School of Art, Architecture & Design) Shri Vijayraj Bodhankar(Renowned Artist) among others.

Between Surface And Depth: The Inner Landscapes An Exhibition By Bharti Verma And Ruchi Chadha

The art exhibition Between Surface and Depth: The Inner Landscapes by Bharti Verma and Ruchi Chadha opened on 3rd March at Jehangir Art Gallery, Gallery No. 2, Kala Ghoda, Mumbai, marking a thoughtful beginning to a week-long showcase of contemporary artistic expression. The exhibition will remain on view until 9th March, inviting visitors to engage with works that explore the subtle terrain between external form and inner experience.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by distinguished members of the art and academic community, lending the event a sense of significance and encouragement. The exhibition was formally inaugurated by Rajendra Patil, President and Founder of the India Art Festival, along with Rishiraj Sethi, Director of Aura Arts. Their presence underscored the continuing dialogue between artists, curators, and platforms that support contemporary art practices.

The event was further graced by the presence of noted academicians including **Ganesh Tartare, Professor at the Sir J. J. School of Art, and **Him Chatterjee, Vice Chancellor of J.J. School of Art Architecture and Design. Their participation reflected the close relationship between artistic practice and academic discourse, particularly in a city like Mumbai where both traditions continue to shape the contemporary art landscape.

The opening evening brought together artists, students, collectors, and art enthusiasts, creating an atmosphere of engagement and dialogue. Visitors moved through the gallery spaces encountering works that explore inner landscapes through distinct yet complementary visual languages. While Bharti Verma’s practice engages with the human form and emotional interiority, Ruchi Chadha’s works draw upon the symbolic resonance of the lotus, reflecting themes of resilience, emergence, and quiet transformation.

Together, the exhibition creates a contemplative space where figuration and symbolism intersect, encouraging viewers to pause and reflect on the layers that lie beneath the visible surface of experience. Between Surface and Depth thus unfolds as both a visual and introspective journey within the walls of one of Mumbai’s most significant cultural venues.

भावूक होत त्यांनी सांगितले की आईच्या स्मरणार्थ त्यांनी संकल्प केला आहे की पुढील काळात कॅन्सरग्रस्त रुग्णांच्या उपचारांसाठी मदत करतील आणि गरीब व गरजू रुग्णांना पूर्णपणे मोफत उपचार मिळतील असे कॅन्सर रुग्णालय उभारण्याचा प्रयत्न करतील.

समाजसेवेप्रती त्यांचे समर्पण आणि मागील काही वर्षांतील उल्लेखनीय कार्य पाहता भविष्यातही त्या समाजासाठी प्रेरणादायी कार्य करत राहतील, अशी अपेक्षा व्यक्त केली जात आहे.

यावेळी पत्रकार संतोष  समाजसेवक  रामभाऊ , तसेच अॅडव्होकेट अवजीत त्रिपाठी उपस्थित होते. सर्वांनी मिळून केक कापून त्यांचा वाढदिवस साजरा केला आणि त्यांना शुभेच्छा दिल्या.
