Ores or trance: Exploring the depths of abstraction

The ongoing exhibition, ‘Ores or Trance’, promises to take viewers on a mesmerising journey into the realm of abstract art, featuring works by some of India’s most distinguished artists.

Among the luminaries showcased in this extraordinary ensemble are artists Hemraj, Yusuf, Shridhar Iyer, Shobha Broota, Rashmi Khurana, P Gopi Nath, and Akhilesh. Each artist brings their unique perspective and artistic vision to the fore, offering viewers a glimpse into the diverse and vibrant landscape of Indian abstraction.

At the heart of the exhibition are two monumental paintings by Hemraj, drawn from his renowned series ‘Eternal Reminiscence 2.0’. Hemraj’s creations serve as portals to a world where time stands still, and the mind is free to wander amidst the depths of consciousness.

As viewers navigate through the gallery space, they are confronted with a symphony of shapes and colours, each painting a testament to the artist’s quest for transcendence and enlightenment.

Yusuf, with his masterful use of line and form, invites viewers to contemplate the mysteries of existence, while Shridhar Iyer’s ethereal compositions transport them to otherworldly realms of imagination.

Shobha Broota, Rashmi Khurana, P Gopi Nath, and Akhilesh further enrich the exhibition with their distinct styles and narratives, offering a kaleidoscopic array of visual experiences. From geometric abstractions to fluid, organic forms, each artist invites viewers to surrender to the power of the abstract, where meaning is found not in representation but in the resonance of the soul.
