On Wednesday, a poet’s meet and a story recital along with painting exhibition was organised at Bharat Bhavan to mark the grand closure of the mega literary and artistic event.
Adding more colours to the event, the artists who participated in Paridhi created the portrait of J Swaminathan, one of the most influential artists of India and involved in the establishment of Bharat Bhavan. He also served as the director at Roopankar art museum of Bharat Bhavan till 1990.
The artists including Vijay Achrekar, Manoj Saktthey, Pankaj Vadekar and Rakesh Suryawanshi created the portrait of J Swaminathan during the event.
It is to be noted that the artists have put up the creations at Bharat Bhavan which they created during the weeklong painting workshop Paridhi. The artists portrayed the beauty of Bhopal city over the canvas. The artists using their imagination and vibrant colours also portrayed the beauty of Bhimbetka and Bharat Bhavan over the canvas.
The exhibition is a blend of creativity, perception and art.
While talking about Paridhi, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of Bharat Bhavan Prem Shankar Shukla said, “We organised this event because I believe there is a huge gap between the art of painting and art of literature. To lessen this gap we held this event. It was a hasty one, but I believe we will organise this event with more preparations in coming years.”
During the event, poets like Om Bharati, Urmila Shirish, Mahendra Gagan, Raag Telang, Geet Chaturvedi and Vinay Upadhyay recited their creations before the audience. It was a zestful event for the art lovers of the city.
