Mumbai with its chaos, many hues and moods have inspired artist and medical practitioner Sudhir Patwardhan's palette for over four decades. From street scenes to panoramic views of the city and its intimate moments, his brush has deftly etched the nuances of the metropolis. His latest artwork, titled 'Mumbai Proverbs: The City Never Lets Go', is a large 7.5x28 feet acrylic on canvas artwork in seven panels and marks the culmination of his engagement with the city.

Cultural theorist Ranjit Hoskote describes Patwardhan's latest work as "an encyclopaedic approach to the history of the city"

While Mumbai Proverbs has been installed in a corporate office and won't be on public display, you can catch a glimpse of it at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS) on November 26, when the artist will be in conversation with cultural theorist Ranjit Hoskote, who has written extensively on his work. The event has been organised by the Mohile Parikh Center in collaboration with the CSMVS.
