Notably, the exhibition will be inaugurated by Jean-Raphaël PEYTREGNET; Consul General of France in Mumbai on Wednesday at 6 pm. The exhibition would be on view until November 20. The exhibition is all about the interrelationship between different arts described in one of the early Puranic Text Vishnudharmottar Puran. The Puran narrates the story of King Vraj who once approached sage ‘Markandeya’ with a request to build a temple for worship.
But to learn handling stone and metal, he was advised to first learn how to paint, then to dance, followed by rudimentary knowledge of instrumental music, which necessitated a foundation of vocal music and literature before starting to paint and sculpt.
The legend highlights the association and interrelationship between different art forms that spring from shared sensibilities, aesthetics, terminology and practices all of which involves intuition and creativity and the manifestation in a holistic form where inner vision and outer embodiment come together in a perfect harmony.
