At first glance, J. Swaminathanโ€™s paintings appear disarmingly simple. The longer you look, the more expansive they become.

In this work from his celebrated Bird, Tree Series, Swaminathan reduces the landscape to its elemental formsโ€”a bird, a tree, a glowing field of colourโ€”creating a visual language that feels at once primal, meditative, and strikingly modern. Painted during the 1980s, the work belongs to a significant phase in the artistโ€™s practice when he moved away from illusionistic depth and towards flattened forms, symbolic motifs, and intuitive space.

For Swaminathan, art was not bound by ideology or narrative, but offered a way of experiencing life itself. The bird and tree here are more than natural forms; they become quiet cosmic presences suspended within a luminous red expanse. Meaning emerges not through description, but through rhythm, colour, balance, and stillness.

Featuring reflections by cultural critic Ashok Vajpeyi, we revisit his singular artistic vision โ€” one that continues to shape the language of modern Indian art today.

Unapologetically different from other artists, Madhvi Parekhโ€™s work stands etymologically apartโ€”not quite โ€˜modernโ€™ as most viewers see it, and not quite folk.

Over time, her practice has given birth to a distinctive visual vocabularyโ€”where hybrid figuresโ€”human, animal and mythicalโ€”coexist in flattened, dreamlike spaces. While her early works reveal a process of discovery, her later paintings demonstrate a confident return toโ€”and reinvention ofโ€”her own motifs, often drawing from her lifelong habit of sketching. ๐™ˆ๐™–๐™™๐™๐™ซ๐™ž ๐™‹๐™–๐™ง๐™š๐™ ๐™: ๐˜ผ ๐™‡๐™ž๐™›๐™š ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™‡๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™š, ๐™ˆ๐™š๐™ข๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฎ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™ˆ๐™ฎ๐™ฉ๐™ foregrounds this continuity: the persistence of a singular vision even as her practice.

Marking her return to Kolkata, the city where her artistic journey began, the exhibition is on view at the iconic Alipore Museum.
Offering a vivid portrait of one of Indiaโ€™s most celebrated filmmakers, this vast and valuable photographic archive, now housed at DAG and built over a lifetime of work by Nemai Ghosh, reveals a window into the life and art of โ€˜The Jewel of Bengalโ€™โ€”Manik da or director par excellence to the world. Presenting photographer Nemai Ghoshโ€™s decades-long documentation of the quintessential Satyajit Ray, these never-displayed-before photographs are as much about Rayโ€™s cinema as about the acute understanding between Ghosh and Ray that allowed him to position his camera squarely but unobtrusively where the action was.

From her early drawings and paintings of the 1960s, where the influence of Paul Kleeโ€™s abstraction is discernible, to her most recent body of work exhibited by DAG in 2025, ๐™ˆ๐™–๐™™๐™๐™ซ๐™ž ๐™‹๐™–๐™ง๐™š๐™ ๐™: ๐˜ผ ๐™‡๐™ž๐™›๐™š ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™‡๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™š, ๐™ˆ๐™š๐™ข๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฎ ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™ˆ๐™ฎ๐™ฉ๐™ traces a practice anchored in memory and imagination while also marking her return to Kolkataโ€”the city where her artistic journey began.

The works shown here, as part of our ongoing exhibition ๐™€๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™˜๐™๐™–๐™ก, reflect what it meant for artists to imagine the nation, before and after Independence, amid uneven transformations in the afterlife of colonial rule. These decades were marked by sharp economic disparities, unbalanced urbanisation, migrations and displacements, shifting caste and gender relations, and the rise of new nationalisms within the social and political fabric. Artists actively reworked preโ€‘modern and colonial visual legacies in light of contemporary local and global shifts, mobilising their own formal and material concerns to think through shifting ideas of identity, personhood and belonging.

These paintings foreground artistic practices that remain close to expressionist figures, fractured bodies, charged landscapes and reimagined religious iconography, revealing the multiple pathways through which the social and the political increasingly entered the image.

Showing at DAG, Mumbai, and Chatterjee & Lal, ๐™€๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™˜๐™๐™–๐™ก remains on view until 11 June 2026. Shown here:

#Last5Days With a wide spectrum of artistic practices, from the large-format aquatints of Henry Salt and James Baillie Fraser โ€” inspired by the commercial success of the Daniellsโ€”to the intimate rural landscapes of George Chinnery, whose influence extended to numerous amateur artists across Bengal, ๐™๐™๐™š ๐™„๐™ฃ๐™™๐™ž๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™‹๐™ž๐™˜๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™ง๐™š๐™จ๐™ฆ๐™ช๐™š examines the rise of illustrated travelogues and print culture, which expanded the reach of picturesque imagery and shaped public imagination about India both within and beyond the subcontinent.

By presenting British and Indian works in dialogue, the exhibition offers a nuanced understanding of artistic exchange, aesthetic transformation and the enduring appeal of picturesque imagery shaped by history and memory.

In ๐˜๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜“๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ, M. A. R. Chughtai presents a moment suspended between longing and devotion. The female figure, shown in profile, lifts her loosened hair as though to bind it to the jaaliโ€”an act that recalls a votive offering for the return of her lover. The geometry of the screen finds an echo in the patterning of her garment, while the surrounding architecture draws from an Indo-Islamic vocabulary. A solitary lamp glows within the interior, suggesting not only illumination, but ุงู†ุชุธุงุฑ (intizฤr)โ€”a state of waiting, charged with hope.

This sensibility is carried forward through the works that follow, unified by the use of the wash techniqueโ€”a defining method of the Bengal School and its extended circle. In this approach, layers of diluted pigment are built up gradually, allowing colour to remain translucent and forms to emerge softly rather than through sharp definition.

Ramgopal Vijaivargiya and Amalnath Chakladar similarly employ this technique to create images that are less descriptive than suggestiveโ€”where narrative unfolds through tonal shifts, softened contours, and carefully modulated colour. In Kshitindranath Mazumdarโ€™s Chaitanya Series, the wash lends itself to a devotional atmosphere, where figures dissolve gently into their surroundings.

Across these works, the wash becomes more than a technique; it shapes a way of seeing. Figures are not fixed, but fluidโ€”held within spaces that are both architectural and emotional. The emphasis lies on evocation rather than detail, allowing themes of love, devotion, and contemplation to surface gradually.
