VISTHAPAN

The dynamics of separation underlined with an inherent trauma informs Vishwa Sahni’s works that are at once dramatic and purposeful. It may be in the separation of families, lovers or the colossal migrations that the world is presently mired in, that all inspire Sahni to find rendition on canvas. On cursory viewing he appears to bring out only the pain and unhappiness that reflects these separations. However, there is a hopefulness when this artist assures us that deep in the heart and soul there is a binding that even in what seems an adverse situation. The growing fondness in the heart bearing the weight of the separation, stays faithful to the memory. The oils are very expressive as those who inhabit his canvas make their presence felt despite the haze they reside in. The haze they reside in screens them offering a sense of community binding as they huddle together in a shared condition, their existence never diminished.

For more than a decade now artists all over the world have expressed angst and anguish over the growing migration situation. The politics of migration has incessantly inspired all art practioners especially artists and poets. It all began in 2011 when more than 14 million Syrians were forced to flee their homes in search of safety from a violent government that had cracked down on the citizens following public demonstrations in support of teenagers who had been arrested for anti-government graffiti. The intense response to dissent and the heightened tensions surrounding freedom of expression resulted in forced migration, often leading to complex challenges such as mental health issues and the need for new protection frameworks. Historically artists are known to respond naturally to such intense situations using their art to illustrate the degenerating power dynamics of politics, human vulnerability, and border issues.

There is an undeniable arresting power in Sahni’s work. Matured over time Sahni has been exploring themes of exodus, displacement, and separation in his work, using an overriding haze obliterating identity to depict and focus on the hardships and experiences of refugee communities. They seem at times to exist within a discreet existence. Their shared journeys become an intimate binding. Family separations are a significant social feature he delves on. However the decision to re-partner after separation makes his work highlight the complex interplay between displacement and the experience of being separated from one’s homeland and living in a no man’s land situation.

Sixty one year old Sahni moved to Mumbai and has a studio in the northern suburbs. Coming from the bucolic hinterland away from open pastures in the midst of nature to a concrete maze his own migration speaks volumes of adjusting while attempting to establish roots. The route is always lined with the painful paves of yearning and longing. However since 2018 he has to his credit several solo exhibitions across the city, participations in group shows and artists’ camps. Migration toughens the body and soul while burying beneath all the anguish of separation and shielding deep within a warmth of the beginnings.

UJJAL” — A Radiant Confluence of Painting & Sculpture
14 – 20 October 2025 | Jehangir Art Gallery (Auditorium Hall), Mumbai

The group show “UJJAL” displays paintings and sculptures by six contemporary Indian artists: Bappa Maji, Pravat Manna, Subrata Paul, Sudeshna Sil, Sudip Biswas, and Tanmoy Hazra.

“UJJAL” (meaning bright, luminous) draws viewers into a deep conversation with form, colour, memory, myth, and nature. These six artists, regardless of their fields, combine tradition and novelty, the physical and the lyrical, the individual and the general.

This show was inaugurated on 14th October 2025 by Mr. Brahmanand S. Singh(National Award Winning Filmmaker, Author & Mentor)

Bappa Maji of Kolkata sculpts sacred and animal forms using the Bengal Dokra tradition. He reinterprets mythological Vahanas in new materials. His art considers humans, animals, myth, and daily life, prompting viewers to feel respect and think.

Pravat Manna uses paint to change the canvas into a landscape of feelings, using oil, acrylic, and mixed media. Through layered compositions, he explores memory, identity, and humanity, using technical skill and personal symbolism.

Active since the late 1990s, Subrata Paul sculpts, often with bronze and wood, moving beyond mere replication to reveal the hidden energies of form. His sculptures communicate human feelings and interactions, using both old and new artistic methods.

Sudeshna Sil’s work reflects her sensitivity, influenced by Bengal’s nature and art training. Through watercolour, mixed media, and fabric, she portrays nature’s depth, offering escape from city life.

Sudip Biswas, a notable modern Indian painter, creates stories of quiet feelings, cultural remembrance, and tradition. Benaras and the Ganga influence his paintings, which combine abstraction and figuration. His recent awards highlight the impact of his work.

The exhibition also includes Tanmoy Hazra’s work, which is characterised by its expressive and innovative qualities and engagement with diverse materials, form, context, and meaning.

The six artists engage in a complex dialogue, rich with layers of myth and matter.

“UJJAL” presents a unique mix of artists, allowing art lovers to dive into modern Indian visuals that are both classic and forward-looking. We welcome everyone to experience these artworks at Jehangir Art Gallery.
