<p>In his first India exhibit, acclaimed visual artist Julian Opie brings a bleak vision of the French countryside</p>

Opie hopes that when viewed sequentially, on a gallery wall, one is able to recreate the walk in his/her mind
It’s been a spell of clammy evenings, but, as of last week, at Dr Bhau Daji Lad Museum’s Special Project Space, it has been Winter. The gallery’s walls have transformed into a pristine information age grid of 75 sections, each containing a digital landscape by acclaimed British visual artist Julian Opie. The imposing grid of camouflage colours forms the artist’s 2012 series, Winter. A contrast to his earlier set Summer., when the rural French colours were rich and the trees full, a bleak vision of the French countryside’s Loire valley unravels in these prints. A stroll around the grid is like floating through a flap-book in slow motion.
