Exhibiting their recent collection of work, three miniaturists- Navneet Pareek, Naina Kumari and Ghanshyam Nibuk have shown life on the banks of the magical Ganges from its source in the Himalayan snow-clad peaks to its merger with the Bay of Bengal. The works depict a variety of subjects- perennial snow, cascading waterfalls, temples on the Ghats of Varanasi, floating oil-lamps and the rolling river in monsoon fury, colourful sailboats in Bangladesh and wild life in the Sunderbans. The mystery and power of the Ganga, and why it remains a river of legend and a perennial source of song and story. Using the traditional natural dyes and fine hand-made squirrel-hair brushes, the artists excel themselves in their ability to depict exquisite detail in the jewel-like works of art. Read More... |
