The life of rural people could be seen through the eyes of an artist in an exhibition being put up at Rangadarshini Gallery, Bharat Bhavan.
A noted artist, Manohar Kajal, has displayed a collection of his paintings and photographs at the gallery. The exhibition, began here on Tuesday, is being organised under the Roopabh series of art, Bharat Bhavan.
One could have a close look at the life of rural India. He has basically worked on the rural tribes of Bundelkhand, Madhya Pradesh. Spending a long time at Bundelkhand, Manohar Kajal explored the lifestyle of the people living there.
He has wonderfully showcased the emotions and expressions which are hidden from others. The smiling girl, a woman carrying an earthen pot filled with water, two little girls enjoying the nature's site, a lonely tribal girl, women talking and gossiping among themselves and many more expressions could be seen in the photographs which are displayed at the gallery.
The spectators could experience the wonders of the place as they walk through the gallery. Photographs are a powerful medium of expression. It is an art by which one can describe hues of life. The beauty of nature, the pretty smile of a lady, the angry child, friends standing together in a field, chirping of birds, companionship of two friends, the mystic sky all the feelings could be seen in the artistic perception which is more beautifully depicted in the exhibition.
Moreover, the artist has also showcased some of his painting works based on the same theme. In the paintings he has used the acrylic and oil paints giving the colours of happiness and joy and adding more expressions to them. The beauty of his paintings lies in the originality he has brought through the strokes of the paint brush. Each painting and photograph comes alive as one has a close look at it.
The spectators were spell-bounded with the creative work Manohar Kajal has put up at Rangadarshini Gallery. The exhibition will be on view till May 11.
