Artist Jaya Lamba had a number of senior Bollywood folks visit her art exhibition at Gallery Art & Soul in Mumbai, yesterday. Among those who attended were Ashutosh Gowarikar, Govind Nihalani, Ketan Mehta, Deepa Sahi, Vikram Bhatt and Ramesh Taurani.
According to the media note, Jaya Lamba’s paintings are influenced by a multitude of experiences that span cities and cultures, the omnipresent bright red lines running through as a web that connects her distinct experiences and represents the pushing-forward of the world.
The key to her oeuvre are shocking, vibrant colors and a deep study of the human form. She draws inspiration from her immediate context– be it the philosophical and spiritual odyssey of the soul or the ever-present pressures of politics;or the sinuous curves of muscles stretched taut .
The images in Jaya’s work weave through both the corporeal and psychological worlds, creating visual representations of things unseen and bringing new depth and focus to the human figure.
Show will continue till Friday, 10th of May, 2013.
