MUMBAI, INDIA — Biophilic Visual artist Dr. Amitabh Shrivastav will present his solo exhibition, “Shivohum 2.0: The Unification,” from 2 to 7 September 2026 at the Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai. Rooted in the artist’s ongoing exploration of coexistence, oneness in duality, and interconnectedness, the exhibition examines the convergence of seemingly contradictory forces through a powerful visual palette of red and black.

The exhibition brings together richly layered acrylic on canvas paintings and innovative Biophilic installation utilizing vetiver roots. Through color, gesture, and texture,

Dr. Shrivastav explores the philosophical union of Shiva and Shakti, represented through the contrasting yet interdependent energies of black and red. Rather than treating these forces as oppositional, the artist considers their entanglement fundamental to creation itself. Red evokes vitality, passion, and generative energy, while black embodies depth, mystery, and the unknown. Their convergence creates a visual tension that gradually transforms into harmony, suggesting a fluid understanding of identity, nature, and existence beyond fixed binaries.

In “Shivohum 2.0: The Unification,” Dr. Shrivastav draws profound inspiration from the intricate structures and ecological intelligence of vetiver roots (Chrysopogon zizanioides). Known for deep-reaching systems that hold soil, conserve groundwater, and participate in networks of natural exchange, vetiver serves as a metaphor for interconnected life. The organic complexity of these roots informs the artist’s visual vocabulary—where branching forms, rhythmic movements, and enveloping voids evoke bodily structures, circulation, memory, and the womb as a site of creation.

Dr. Shrivastav holds a degree in Fine Arts from Banaras Hindu University and a PhD in Art & Design from the Sorbonne in France. His multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, mixed-media installation, AI-robotics, and public art. By merging ecological, philosophical, and spiritual thought with contemporary artistic processes, his work deeply investigates the relationship between human existence and the natural world.

“Shivohum 2.0: The Unification” invites viewers to contemplate their own relationship with the body, nature, and the invisible forces that bind seemingly separate entities together. Ultimately, the exhibition proposes coexistence not as the erasure of difference, but as the realization of wholeness through deep interconnectedness.

This show was inaugurated on 2nd September 2026 by Honorable Guest Mr. Prayag Shukla(Poet, Curator, Art Critic), in the presence of Prof. Ganesh Tartare(Eminent Artist), Ms. Simran Ahuja (Eminent Actress, TV talk show Host), Anjali Arora(Art Curator) among others.

PRAVĀH

There is a flow within us that is rarely still. It moves quietly beneath everyday life—through memory, emotion, thought, and experience. We may not always notice it, but it shapes how we feel, how we respond, and ultimately, how we see the world. It is this inner movement that forms the starting point for Pravāh, a body of work by Anjali Prabhakar. Anjali’s practice has developed alongside a deep engagement with meditation and an awareness of the energy that exists within and around us. She does not approach the canvas with a finished image in mind. Often, there is simply a feeling, a colour, or an impulse that she wants to follow. The painting then becomes a way of staying with that feeling and seeing where it takes her.

The most interesting aspect of her process is that the artist does not try to explain an emotion through the painting, nor does she try to give it a fixed form. Instead, she allows herself to work intuitively, responding to what is happening on the canvas. She allows these discoveries to happen rather than forcing the painting towards a predetermined conclusion.

Colour is perhaps where the energy of these paintings is felt most immediately. Anjali responds to colour instinctively, allowing it to carry the mood of the moment rather than assigning it a fixed meaning. The deep reds, blues, and luminous passages that recur through the works can feel intense, warm, quiet, or expansive, sometimes within the same painting. They draw us in before we have had the chance to make sense of them. In that sense, colour becomes more than what we see—it becomes something we feel. Meditation, on the other hand, has also taught her the value of stillness. For her, stillness is not a withdrawal from the world, but a way of becoming more attentive to what is happening within. It is in this quieter state that she finds the space to notice subtle shifts in feeling and energy, and to allow them to enter the work without forcing them into words or fixed forms.

Pravāh is Sanskrit for flow or current—it is ultimately a meeting place. It is about the things we carry within us and the ways they shift with time. It is about allowing rather than controlling, and about recognising that not everything we experience needs to be explained in order to be felt.

Pravāh, therefore, is that meeting point—a space between stillness and movement, between what is felt and what can be expressed, between the inner world and the canvas.

Spandane

Spandane is delicate, but potent. Spandane literally means vibration. It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This particular brand of manipulation is familiar territory for painter Sachin Sagare, who in his seventeenth solo show is proving himself a consummate craftsman of this complex emotion. His twenty-one elegiac paintings on display each take the form of womanhood, but what drives this artist’s moody remembrances is the figurative element within each work: Spandane surrogates that what is always beautiful, winsome, and perfectly attired. Today’s practice of acrylic painting is itself fueled by nostalgia, reminding us of a purer time when art seemed to have a sacred quality, either literally or figuratively. What’s remarkable about his practice, however, is the way he uses different strategies to describe not only memory but also the fading of memory that stirs in us a longing to be reunited with our past.

In his dreamy paintings of women in verdant landscapes, Sagare toys with conventional associations of nature, femininity, childhood and innocence. The foregrounds of his pictures are occupied by colorful women. Sagare paints these with a deft, brushy touch that gives the surfaces of his canvases a sensuously tactile presence. The diminutive figures of women that Sagare inserts into these environments look almost as if they’d been present in nostalgia, Sagare’s primary focus is on the unspoken the silent scenes that carry thought beneath their calm surface. He gazes through these images to understand how history lives in bodies and behaviors, especially those of women, who often remained functional yet invisible within dominant narratives. With few if any signs of civilization in view, you get the feeling they’ve escaped not only from parental supervision and the rules of their community but from modernity in general and the mess made of the world by the Industrial Revolution. It’s a short step to see Sagare’s heroines’ escape into the bosom of Mother Nature as a romantic protest against the dominion of patriarchal consciousness. Insofar as the artist himself may be said to personify the life and freedom of art and imagination. This gives Sagare’s paintings a touching personal urgency. He’s projecting his own sense of what it takes to be an artist in the modern world. You have to be some kind of outlaw. He employs an academic style, showing off the gestural nature of figure painting. Every stroke reflects a motion, yet everything is precise, with intention.

Very few contemporary figurative painters reveal subtle enigmatic juxtaposition. Artist such as Sachin Sagare uses caricature, irony and broad stylization to deliberately provoke, filtered through a faux academic plainness, the paintings in the current series done between 2025 and 2026 depict multi figure scenes populated by late adolescent women engaged in enigmatic encounters, or just as often disengaged and daydreaming. Women roam in mass in sarees and blouses, barefoot with vermilion smeared over their forehead. All the paintings seem woven from disparate sources. Sachin Sagare’s female protagonists seem to project something different from these sources, perhaps a more contemporary hauteur. They never fully declare just what they are up to, and seem unhurried by events. The multiple scenarios on display are like formal qualities of the paintings, still ever so slightly sketchy and undercooked, but with much to savor for those who like their mysteries that way.

Eternal Whispers of Stone presents a compelling ongoing series of paintings by Mumbai-based artist Uma Krishnamoorthy, who turns her gaze towards India’s sacred architecture as repositories of memory, devotion and cultural continuity. Rather than treating temples as monuments frozen in history, Uma approaches them as living presences whose meanings continue to evolve through ritual, landscape and the everyday lives that surround them.

Working primarily in oil on linen or canvas, the artist journeys across the Indian subcontinent; from the Golden Temple in Amritsar and the sculptural magnificence of Kamakhya in Assam to the temple towns of Kashi, Konark, Kasardevi, Kopeshwar and beyond. Yet this exhibition is not intended as a documentary survey. Instead, it is an exploration of atmosphere: of light settling upon ancient stone, reflections dissolving architecture into water, mountain silence framing a solitary shrine, and the quiet passage of time etched into weathered surfaces.

Uma’s paintings are marked by an instinctive sensitivity to light and structure. Architectural forms emerge not merely as feats of craftsmanship but as vessels carrying centuries of faith, craftsmanship and collective memory. Her compositions frequently linger on thresholds, stairways, domes and sculptural details, inviting the viewer to pause before entering these sacred spaces both physically and imaginatively. The measured handling of colour and light allows each site to retain its distinct geographical and cultural identity while suggesting a shared spiritual vocabulary that transcends region.

The exhibition also reflects on the remarkable resilience of India’s temple traditions observed during her repeated travels. These structures have witnessed changing kingdoms, political upheavals and shifting cultural landscapes, yet they continue to function as centres of worship, gathering and continuity. In Uma’s hands, architecture becomes less an archaeological relic than a living archive where history, belief and daily life remain inseparable.

Eternal Whispers of Stone offers viewers an opportunity to reconsider sacred architecture beyond its iconic status. It invites a slower engagement with places where stone has absorbed centuries of footsteps, prayers and silence, revealing temples not only as architectural achievements but also as enduring custodians of India’s civilisational memory.

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.

This show was inaugurated on 5th May 2026 by Honorable Guests Mr. Prayag Shukla (Famous writer & art critic), in the presence of Mr. Kamal Jain (Famous typographer), Mr. Anil Kelkar (Founder member Mumbai art group), Mr. Hars Lakhani (Art curator), Mr. Raj Kumar Sharma (Art reviewer), Mr. U.
