Wander in spacious infinity at 'Tranquil Trialogues'

A group show of paintings by Nivedita Pande, Late Nira Davar and Renuka, Tranquil Trialogues, at Indian Habitat Centre (IHC), is just a glimpse of the greater picture, painted by these three exemplary artists. At this exhibition you will get to see a variety of artistic works as all three of them have separate styles, themes and techniques of painting. In all the works there is great emotional content as well as thoughts which each one presented in a different manner.
'Tranquil Trialogues' is an attempt to showcase the works emerging from the same place through three different artists in three different ways of expression.
Nivedita Pande's true calling came after establishing a successful practice in Architecture in partnership with her husband. Talking about her foray in the art world Nivedita says, "Art and architecture are part and parcel of my existence. I am incomplete without either. Architecture happened because of my interest in art and understanding art was easier with architecture. Painting happens in the most free state of mind. My paintings range from purely colourful simple compositions – to be enjoyed for the basic composition and colourful rendering of objects to the depiction of intriguing happenings in the society. I am a firm believer in the idea that "a painting has a right to exist by itself as a painting."
Padmashri Keshav Malik, veteran art critic, writer and poet wrote, "The painter does not over fill her picture space. So much is left to the imagination of the spectator or conveyed to him by subtle suggestions. Not only does the artist work with free space but also allows rhythm to be revealed through her fluid strokes. Her works, done from memory, use a technique whose symbolism and style is firmly established with the disciplined mastery and efficient brush control."
"What strikes me most is the ability to create satirical humour from the incongruous in a landscape where meaning is held back allowing the viewer to contemplate and experience that journey," said Amrita Varma, an independent advisor, curator and critic.
The exhibition is open to all from August 21 to 24 at the convention centre lobby of IHC, from 10 am to 7 pm.
