An art show with a difference
Wednesday, September 3, 2008
It was an art show with a difference. For one, all the four artists are trained in classical dance and multi tasking women, and for another, even the person inaugurating the show was a dancer and a successful lawyer. The show, 'Lighting the Way', by contemporary artists Dr Alka Raghuvanshi, Manisha Gawade, Babita Gupta and Anita Kulkarni, opened at Studio Vasant and was inaugurated by Rashmi Vaidialingam, who lauded the fluid movement in their work as she quoted a beautiful poem on the feminine power to chose who they wish to be.
All the artists are known for their fascinating insight into relationships and spirituality. Their chosen forms are abstracts and figurative with an interesting twist. They converged to put on board nearly 50 works that are in vibrant hues and use metallic colours as symbols of purity.
The art community turned up in good measure to support their fellow artists as did women multi taskers from other walks of life. Those seen admiring the works were Mukta Jain, chairperson of the FICCI Flow, wife of the Swedish Ambassador, Delice, owners of the Metropolitan hotel Kavin Gupta, diplomats Angela and Hans Hoertnagel from the Austrian Trade Commission, artists Kanchan Chander, Gagan Vij, Niren Sengupta, Sangeet Gandhi, Baljit Chaddha and Vijay Victor.
