Hear the Silence Solo Exhibition of Oil Paintings By Iyoti Nagpal Artist''s Perspective Nothing makes me so happy as to observe Nature and to paint what I see Henri Rousseau This collection of paintings is an attempt to portray the beauty of Nature as I observe and perceive it The lockdown period opened quite another aspect of Nature to me It was a time for introspection while being cooped up inside homes, a time when one could hear the silence outside when the skies became blue again instead of polluted grey when mountain ranges became visible on the horizon when deer and peacocks ventured out to reclaim their space when new varieties of birds arrived in flocks when colourful butterflies reappeared, when squirrels Scampered up to you to pick food from your palm.

irector’s Note Tradition rendered into modernity the works of master sculptor Biman B. Das epitomise this notion. Biman Das deep understanding of human anatomy his commitment to archival research, and adept use of symbolism give his works a distinctive quality which is rare to find He is able to make the classical contemporary It is this dynamism in technique and form that inspired me to showcase the sculptures of Biman da through a retrospective I have been fortunate to be a part of Biman da’s career for many years, and working with him to bring his retrospective to life has been a great pleasure. Art Pilgrim was established in 1998 driven by a deep commitment to the idea of art as enlightenment and through various solo and group shows in India and abroad I have sought to bring the works of senior and master artists to art lovers and collectors alike. Biman da’s laudable accomplishments as a sculptor and the impeccable construction of his sculptures resonate with this vision September 15th to 22nd 2024 at CCA building GF in Bikaner House Timing 11am to 7pm
