‘A Force of Nature’: A solo exhibition by Ritika Aurora

Artist Ritika Aurora will present her debut solo exhibition at the Kalamkaar Gallery, Bikaner House, from April 25 to 30. Titled ‘A Force of Nature’ : Celebrating Women and Nature through Art, the exhibition features a series of works that examine the interplay between femininity, resilience, and the natural world.

The exhibition, curated by Georgina Maddox, showcases a blend of figurative and semi-abstract styles. Aurora’s work is characterised by motifs such as winged female figures, flowers, butterflies, and abstract golden elements. Her palette includes pinks, golds, off-whites, and browns, used to convey themes of growth, transformation, and introspection.

Aurora, a mentor at the Milan Art Institute, USA, began her artistic career after transitioning from her role as a homemaker. Her work is rooted in personal experiences of change and self-discovery, often reflecting ideas of independence, identity, and inner strength.

Speaking about her work, Aurora said, “My paintings explore themes of independence, self-actualisation, and authenticity. They reflect a personal journey of embracing one’s true self.”

Curator Georgina Maddox describes Aurora’s process as intuitive and experimental. Her technique involves the use of flowing inks, lace textures, paisley patterns, and henna-inspired designs.
