Group exhibition of 3 female artists today
Bhopal: Alliance France is showcasing group exhibition of three female artists on Saturday at 6 pm. The three artists are Archana Yadav, Preeti lS Mann and Shalini Tyagi. Interestingly all the three artists have a strong Bhopal connect and their creative journey has traversed from small town India to the metropolitan lives. Archana Yadav’s canvas are mainly white with sudden riots of colours, Preeti Mann is a bit subtle as if engaging the viewer with hints. Shalini Tyagi’s work is more about layers and textures, capturing memories in process like sparrows. All three mainly work with acrylic on canvas and their work is still a quest for both form and content. They chose different approaches and styles to express themselves. Archana Yadav’s work attracts the attention with her sharp and sudden colourful strokes, Preeti Mann entices the audiences by evoking their own imaginations. Shalini Tyagi’s work is divided in lines, where some parts are abstract and some a bit realistic. Renowned Tribal Gond Artist Nankusia Shyam will inaugurate the exhibition. It will continue till April 25.
