Asolo painting exhibition titled Visual Scriptures by Jagmohan Bangani presents an indigenous collection of the artwork along the lines of abstraction.
Bagnani said that his work is a self-concept and not a one-off action. “I am exploring abstraction by using text, word, a group of words and scripts which carry some natural or spiritual meanings, and also encounter frequently in our daily life. Gaining new experiences with experimenting different text forms over the canvas surface is a sole drive to develop my art work from the beginning phase to the final outcome. I have used texts from various languages such as Sanskrit, Hindi, Punjabi and English in my work.”
