The saga of womanhood has been reflected through paintings and sculptures in an exquisite exhibition by Renuka Sondhi Gulati. Aptly titled The Phoenix Woman, the exhibition will be on till March 16 at Triveni Kala Sangam. The show celebrates the coming of age of womanhood in India as she rises back from the ashes to claim her rightful place under the sky as the mythical phoenix woman.
“It is a depiction of a real-life saga of the inner power and strength of a woman. Compulsively, what the woman holds up inside her is out on the canvas,” said Renuka. Her works vivify the journey of a woman from birth to death under going all the pangs of ageing and feeling all the bliss of maturity, and also they capture how a woman becomes a natural multi-role person when she exists within the society, family and above all in history. The exhibition was inaugurated by Nishi and SC Sinha IPS (Retd), Member, National Human Rights.
“This is my eighth solo show of paintings and sculptures at Shridharani Gallery. The sale proceeds of the show will go to the NGO AAPSI for elderly care,” she added. The exhibition has seen visitors like Shalini and Sanjay Srivastava IAS, Chief Secretary, Government of NCT Delhi, and Neha and Balvinder Kumar IAS, Vice-Chairman, DDA.
