The art enthusiasts were taken down the memory lane through beautiful and impactful paintings. A painting exhibition ‘Chitranjali’ evoked a good response by the art lovers. Put up by tiny tots of the city — Deepanshi, a 13 year old girl and Deepansh, her younger brother — in the memory of their father concluded here on Wednesday.
The Vajpayee siblings have painted their emotion and memories of their father on canvas beautifully and were displayed at Swaraj Vithika (Swaraj Art Gallery) Ravindra Bhavan premises. By these colourful works, the artists have paid tribute to their father late Deep Narayan Vajpayee on the occasion of his first death anniversary.
As many as 30 paintings, based on realistic and semi realistic forms portray their warm affection towards their father were put up. There were memorable moments in 15 works Deepanshi spent with her father.
In some acrylic paintings she was seen sitting on the shoulder of his father, sleeping in his lap, holding his finger, walking on road in rain holding umbrella. She also painted how his father fulfilled all her demands and how mother managed her and her younger brother after death of their father. The exhibition was inaugurated by MoS, school education, Deepak Joshi.
“It’s our first painting exhibition which is dedicated to our father. I want to become an IAS officer as per my father’s wish. Painting is my hobby. I was good in drawing so my father wanted my work to be exhibited,” said Deepanshi.
Similarly, Deepaansh also depicted his father loving him. He has painted him catching fish in the Upper lake with him.
A big work gifted to their mother Neeta Deep Vajpayee by Raj Saini in which two shades of her life, before and after the death of her husband, were shown.
The exhibition of memories was much enjoyed by the art lovers. The creativity and above all the memories that added the zest in the paintings were much appreciated.
