Amrita Sher-Gil at Akara Modern!

Mumbai, 30^th October

Art lovers get ready for a fantastic opportunity to witness a unique exhibition of their beloved artist Amrita Sher-Gil, as Akara Modern announces the preview of ‘Amrita Sher-Gil: A Portrait of Observations’ on Wednesday, 1^st November 2023.

What Akara Modern conveys about the Amrita Sher-Gil Exhibition:

A strongly opinionated and independent artist with a keen eye for detail, Amrita Sher-Gil had tremendous clarity of mind which she used to articulate her observations with openness in her artworks, writings and letters. Creating through imagination, the artist always selected her subject matter and form based on emotion rather than beauty. Sher-Gil filled the short span of her life with travels, copious writing in various forms, painting and art that opened her heart and mind to the worlds she lived in. Her sketches and paintings indicate the amalgamation of worlds and languages, which she navigated deftly to form her observations of people and circumstances – personal, social and political. Despite a short life, Sher-Gil paved her way into a significant period of modern Indian art history where her works and writings are portraits for observation, even today.
