What is it about the colour blue that captivates the imagination? From serene skies to vast oceans, blue has long been associated with peace, hope and endless possibilities. This evocative colour takes centre stage at Harvest 2024, presented by Payal Kapoor of Arushi Arts, under the theme Blue Horizons.
The exhibition offers visitors a chance to explore art inspired by the symbolism of blue across cultures and history. Blue has held a significant place in human civilisation, cherished in Indian art and far-eastern traditions and revered in Western masterpieces. Artists like Monet, Van Gogh and Picasso have embraced its depth to convey emotions and ideas and this exhibition continues that legacy.
The artworks on display evoke tranquillity while stirring deep emotions. K.G. Subramanyan’s pieces, with their playful narratives, draw viewers into a world of vivid storytelling. Shobha Broota’s minimalist approach creates a meditative experience, while Satish Gupta’s works are admired for their intricate details and spiritual undertones. Lado Bai’s vibrant depictions of tribal life and traditions stand out, bridging the gap between cultural heritage and contemporary expression.
Each artist interprets blue in a way that feels both personal and universally relatable. The layers of textures, interplay of light and shadow and central use of blue create a visual narrative that inspires introspection and connection. The exhibition showcases a variety of perspectives, celebrating art’s ability to unite history, emotion and creativity.
This thoughtfully curated showcase of talent is a must-visit for art lovers and anyone looking to experience the magic of blue. Held at W-23, GK-II, New Delhi, the exhibition is open daily from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. This showcase of creativity and talent remains open until 10th February 2024.
