Moments…a solo photo-art exhibition by Kabeer Ramesh at the Jehangir Art Gallery from 16-22 April 2025

This show was inaugurated on 16th April 2025 by Professor Gautam Gawali, (Pro VC Amity University) Kabeer Ramesh Professor SM Michael (Director Indian Institute of Culture Mumbai and renowned abstract artist Vilas Shinde in the presence of Photographer Kabeer Ramesh’s students, Miss. Pradnya , Professor Abhinaya Ramesh, international visitors from Rome, Girl students (Seating)

Photo artist Kabeer Ramesh comes with one more solo exhibition of his photographs at the prestigious Jehangir Art Gallery. His previous exhibitions were ‘Frozen in Times’, (Jehangir, 2023); ‘Every Picture has a Story’ (Niyta Art Gallery); and ‘Enduring Imprints’ (Nehru Centre). The ‘Moments’, as he titles the present exhibition, captures his creative moments, depicting a variety of subjects drawn from broad experiences resulting from travels to European museums, landscapes and other locations. This attempt at memorializing the monumental achievements of humanity, inscribed in stone, depicts human resolve in achieving the unachievable: the London Bridge and the skyscrapers, among others; at the same time, the melancholy and enigma of bondage and yearning for freedom are present in his photos of statues. Thus, Kabeer’s photo art offers sensitive explorations into the complex human condition: a deep yearning for freedom and unavoidable bondage.  Some of his works are presented in the black and white scheme: the Taj Mahal, the London Bridge, the dilapidated urban habitat, and the harsh conditions of life. This offers both an archaic presence and its fleeting, fading passage.  Kabeer is fascinated with the many shades and moods of the sky. The sky at different times of the day and night presents multiple possibilities; even the darkness, that is the absence, offers glimpses of potential.   Portraits in Kabeer’s work of people from everyday walks of life present many orientations to the given:  some present deep anguish, while others show contentment even amidst the uncertain. Kabeer’s work offers many ways of seeing and visualizing.

Anushka Satyajeet Varekar – Sangli

She hails from Sangli and had her art education upto G.D. Arts followed by Diploma in Art Education at Kalavishwa Mahavidyalaya Sangli. Anushka Varekar has highlighted the subtle nuances of Rajasthani culture, heritage and social life prevailing there in her expressive style of realism. The Rajasthani culture, the people there, the expressions on their faces, their colorful attire, when they come out of their shells onto the canvas, captivates the mind. Looking at Rajasthan depicted through the eyes of a Marathi artist, one begins to feel the respectful nod given by Maharashtra’s culture to Rajasthani culture.

Santaji Chougale – Kolhapur

Santaji had his art education upto G.D. Art(Sculpture & Modelling) at Kalamandir Art College, Kolhapur. His works in bronze showcases the unique aesthetic norms and nuances associated with a peacock in its happy and joyful mood and enjoyment due to rains and the continuous downpour in rainy season. It also illustrates the elegance of joy and happiness expressed by the peacock in its joyous mood full of happiness and merriment. The sculptor seems to have created it relatively. The peacock’s spread plumage, its vastness, binds the eye somewhere. The peacock’s sharpness and the rhythmic connection in that sharpness are presented relatively by the artist. Overall, through this series of sculptures, the artist seems to have succeeded in expressing his personal feelings about Peacock to art lovers.

Yogesh Majgaonkar – Kolhapur

He hails from Kolhapur. Yogesh had his art education upto G.D. Art(Sculpture & Modelling) at Kalamandir Art College, Kolhapur.  He had showcased his sculptures in many solo and group art exhibitions in Bombay Art Society, Gulbarga Academy of Art, Gulbarga, Lalit Kala Academy New Delhi etc. His sculptures in stone and mixed medium showing the subtle nuances of Apple, Strawberry, Tree and their elegant realistic norms in nature are really very artistic and unique in surface finishes textural peculiarities. He has focused on the need for conservational of nature wealth and its treasures and need to ensure preservation of the subtle nuances from the worldly Bards of pollution and urbanization.

Home & Abroad: Dr. Mohan Luthra’s Exhibition Explores Beauty and Truth

Mumbai’s iconic Jehangir Art Gallery is currently hosting a compelling exhibition by London-based artist Dr. Mohan Luthra, titled Home & Abroad – A Painting and a Thought. The exhibition features 28 evocative landscapes and has been drawing a steady stream of visitors, including art enthusiasts, critics, and cultural figures, with nearly 100 attendees daily.

The exhibition was inaugurated on 17^th February 2025 by Mr. Kaiyoze Billimoria, a distinguished Mumbai citizen, who reflected on Dr. Luthra’s multifaceted career in the UK while maintaining a lifelong dedication to the arts. Speaking at the event, Billimoria noted, “Each painting here is not just a depiction of a place, but an exploration of how those places have shaped the artist’s thought and spirit.” He also emphasized Luthra’s deep connection to Indian landscapes, particularly through his recent work in shared studios in Goa and Reva Kancheta, along the banks of the Narmada River.

The exhibition was also attended by Senior Advocate Rui Rodrigues, a board member of the YMCA committee, who was particularly drawn to the poetic depth woven into Luthra’s work.

Home & Abroad showcases a diverse range of landscapes, from architectural panoramas to what the artist describes as “wastescapes.” Yet beyond their striking visual appeal, these works carry deeper narratives—questioning the realities behind idyllic settings through poetic reflections and self-exploration. Luthra’s approach challenges viewers to move beyond aesthetics and engage with the truths hidden beneath the surface.

A notable aspect of the exhibition is its curation, subtly tracing the artist’s evolution from childhood to the present. Through this lens, Home & Abroad not only highlights Luthra’s artistic growth but also explores how his journeys—both physical and emotional—have shaped his perspective and creative voice.

With Home & Abroad, Dr. Mohan Luthra once again demonstrates his ability to merge visual splendor with introspective depth, offering audiences a thought-provoking experience that lingers long after they leave the gallery.

The exhibition runs until Sunday, 23rd February.
