Kashmiri artist Promila Kaul captures the many hues of the Valley in a new solo show that opens today

The Women At The Threshold serves as a never-dying desire of two friends for a better future, in this case perhaps, a return to the valley of Kashmir
A young woman walks through a storm, the sky appears agitated with bursts of yellow and blue replicating a storm. But she doesn’t let it break her will, as she walks with a newborn child in her arms. Promila Kaul’s painting, Bundle Of Joy, is nothing short of a masterpiece as she plays with colours in her new solo, Hues Of Life, opening at the Artists Centre gallery, today.
The determination of Bundle Of Joy turns to longing in another frame, as if seeking a way to return to the past, perhaps an abode long lost, in her case the valley of Kashmir, which she was forced to leave behind during the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits in the 1980s.
