An ode to the rain gods

The paintings depict water in various forms, including raindrops, rivulets, puddles, waterfalls, as well as buildings and trees awash in the rain. Artist Jayanta Pandit, who has four of his paintings being exhibited, says, “The monsoon is the season of emotions; the scenery creates a surge of emotions that are expressed on canvas.”

“It’s a group exhibition with different artists expressing their outlook on the rains,” says artist Ananta Mandal. Mandal adds, “This is the best platform to articulate the monsoon, because as an artist you get emotionally attached, easily, to nature and want to share that attachment through your work.”
Stop by the exhibition to catch a glimpse of the rains through artists’ eyes.
