Experience art that reflects the soul of the present — The Art of Now.

SAAHAS Art Foundation (SAF) is thrilled to present The Art of Now, a group exhibition showcasing contemporary works by Rritu Goel, Rosy Gunaiti, Jyoti Chordia, and Itee Jain

This week-long celebration of creativity offers a unique lens into modern Indian artistry, with themes ranging from mythology and nature to emotional introspection and spiritual expression. As a platform that promotes art alongside animal care and social welfare, SAF continues to bridge beauty with purpose.

This show was inaugurated on 13th May 2025 by Honorable Guests

Rishiraj Sethi Director – Aura Art,  Augustine Chalissery Founder & CEO Systemintegra, Ajoykant Ruiya Chairman Allstate Group, Manju Lodha, Writer, Social Activist, Kamlesh Doshi Film Producer, Shreya Ojha Actress and Anchor, Manmohan Jaiswal Art Curator, Event Organiser, Kiran Patel Kkiran Consultant, Rajendra Agrawal Rotary District Governor, Nitin Jadia – Art Collector, Rachana Minawala – Chatter Platter (Curator) Sabrina Cooper Child World Foundation Trus rusted Hill Retreat and Sanjay Nikam Art Curator & Artist,  Chhaya Sakhre Classical Singer & Composer among others

Rritu Goel

Seasoned contemporary and abstract artist, Rritu Goel channels her spiritual experiences and meditative insights into vivid and meaningful canvases. Her work often revisits Indian mythology through a modern lens, blending vibrant abstraction with philosophical calm. With over 20 years of exhibition experience, her art continues to reflect themes of peace, positivity, and cultural introspection.

Rosy Guniti

Artist by passion and profession, Rosy Guniti holds a Master’s degree in Biotechnology and began her professional journey in the sciences. However, her true calling led her away from the laboratory and into the vibrant world of art. For Rosy, art is a soulful connection — a language that speaks of joy, emotion, and the colorful journey of life.

Her artistic practice is rooted in the belief that color mirrors the many shades of human experience, and she brings this philosophy to life through her expressive use of canvas, acrylics, and textured finishes. Over the years, she has explored various mediums, but textured acrylics on canvas have remained closest to her heart.

As both an artist and art educator, Rosy finds deep fulfillment in connecting with nature and engaging with people from around the world. Her art is not just a form of expression — it is a celebration of freedom, inner peace, and soulful resonance.

Jyoti Choradiya

A self-taught artist and co-founder of SAF, Jyoti Choradiya’s emotionally charged and symbol-rich paintings embody the essence of harmony and chaos. Drawing from her diverse life across India and abroad, her use of bold colors and flowing lines invites the viewer to explore the connections between self, society, and emotion. Her work is a visual diary of introspection and raw, spiritual exploration.

Itee Jain

An IT professional by training and an artist by heart, Itee Jain brings an impressionist approach to her works, capturing the fleeting beauty of nature. Inspired by Claude Monet, she combines pointillism and mosaic-like techniques in watercolors and acrylics, focusing on the intersection of light, color, and consciousness. Her goal is to make viewers more aware of the natural world and its delicate nuances.

“The Art of Now” is more than an exhibition. It is a convergence of voices, visions, and values. Through the diverse works of Rritu Goel, Rosy Guniti, Jyoti Chordia, and Itee Jain, the show invites viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect — with art, with nature, and with the self. In the vibrant space of Nehru Art Gallery, Mumbai, this exhibition stands as a testament to the transformative power of creativity and the enduring spirit of community.

THREAD STORY – A Unique Visual Language Woven From Fabric And Thread

“THREAD STORIES”

Second Edition

Solo Show of artworks by eminent artist Alka Rode

VENUE

Jehangir Art Gallery

161-B, M. G. Road

From May 13 to 19, 2025, Mumbai’s iconic Jehangir Art Gallery will host ‘Thread Story’, a solo exhibition by Pune-based eminent artist and designer Alka Rode Held in Gallery No. 3 and open daily from 11 AM to 7 PM, the exhibition invites viewers into a world where fabric, thread, and design converge to tell powerful, textured stories.

This show was inaugurated on 13th May 2025 by distinguished Design Educator and Calligrapher Hon. Dr. Santosh Kshirsagar former Dean of J.J. institute of Applied of Art, Mumbai

Alka Rode, a trained graphic designer and fine artist, moves beyond the boundaries of traditional media in this compelling collection. Using fabric scraps and running stitches, she constructs compositions that are not only visually engaging but emotionally resonant. Her work represents a unique synthesis of art and craft — transforming everyday materials into a narrative language that is both personal and universally relatable.

A defining feature of Thread Story is Alka’s extraordinary ability to see potential in the discarded. Small, seemingly non-useful pieces of used clothing — often overlooked as scraps — are placed thoughtfully on the canvas, each stitch guided by her artistic vision. What begins as waste in the eyes of many becomes a meaningful and intricate composition under her hands. That transformation, from ordinary to extraordinary, is the quiet magic of Alka Rode’s artistry.

At the heart of Thread Story lies an exploration of womanhood. Alka portrays the feminine experience through multiple lenses — from divine archetypes to the contemporary woman — each piece offering a new perspective on identity, strength, and emotion. These themes are expressed not through paint or pencil, but through layers of fabric stitched together with deliberate care, giving each artwork a tactile and intimate dimension.

In addition to thematic portraits, the exhibition features a series of abstract compositions. These works reflect Alka’s keen design sensibility, honed through years of experience and formal education, including a G.D. Art, an Art Teacher Diploma, and an M.A. in Fine Arts. Her command over color theory, texture, and visual rhythm is evident throughout the show. Each stitch becomes a mark of continuity, connection, and contemplation — turning fragments into wholes, silence into conversation.

“The thread is my line, and fabric is my medium,” Alka explains. “What I create is not just an image — it’s a visual story stitched together with thought and emotion.”

Thread Story is more than an exhibition — it is an invitation to see art through a new lens, where thread carries meaning and fabric holds memory. The show stands as a bold example of innovation in contemporary Indian art, offering a sensory and symbolic experience that resonates long after the viewer has left the gallery.

Cascade of Shades : A creative journey of the blend of colors, tones, and textures

There are paintings that capture your sight and then there are those that quietly enter your thoughts, linger in your imagination, and bloom with every passing moment. Cascade of Shades, a solo exhibition by Ragini Sinkar, belongs to the latter. Every painting in this series bridges gap between imagination and perception.

This show was inaugurated on 21st April 2025 by Honourable Guests Achyut Palav(Master Calligrapher and Designer, Pamashree 2025),Ashok Dugade(Chairman & Managing Trustee, Saturday Club),Sanjay Deore(Managing Director, SKD Consultants Pvt. Ltd.) among others.

Each canvas in Cascade of Shades feels alive with motion—not in the literal sense, but in how it unfolds across time and mood. A painting seen in morning light might feel entirely different by dusk. These are not static pieces, they evolve with the viewer.

Built with translucent layers, subtle contrasts, and a keen eye for harmony, Ragini’s abstract compositions explore the delicate bridge between perception and imagination. Her work invites you to pause, to reflect, to lose and perhaps find yourself within shifting tones and textures.

A graduate of Sir J.J. School of Art, Ragini completed her A.T.D. in 1998 with first rank, followed by a B.F.A. in Drawing and Painting in 2002. Over the years, her work has been exhibited at some of Mumbai’s most prestigious galleries, including multiple solo and group shows at Jehangir, Nehru Centre, and Cymroza Art Gallery.

Her achievements include awards for design, object drawing, portraiture, sketching, and collage, and she has actively contributed to the Indian art scene through platforms such as the Art Society of India, Camlin Art Foundation, Bombay Art Society, and several women-led exhibitions.

Moments…a solo photo-art exhibition by Kabeer Ramesh at the Jehangir Art Gallery from 16-22 April 2025

This show was inaugurated on 16th April 2025 by Professor Gautam Gawali, (Pro VC Amity University) Kabeer Ramesh Professor SM Michael (Director Indian Institute of Culture Mumbai and renowned abstract artist Vilas Shinde in the presence of Photographer Kabeer Ramesh’s students, Miss. Pradnya , Professor Abhinaya Ramesh, international visitors from Rome, Girl students (Seating)

Photo artist Kabeer Ramesh comes with one more solo exhibition of his photographs at the prestigious Jehangir Art Gallery. His previous exhibitions were ‘Frozen in Times’, (Jehangir, 2023); ‘Every Picture has a Story’ (Niyta Art Gallery); and ‘Enduring Imprints’ (Nehru Centre). The ‘Moments’, as he titles the present exhibition, captures his creative moments, depicting a variety of subjects drawn from broad experiences resulting from travels to European museums, landscapes and other locations. This attempt at memorializing the monumental achievements of humanity, inscribed in stone, depicts human resolve in achieving the unachievable: the London Bridge and the skyscrapers, among others; at the same time, the melancholy and enigma of bondage and yearning for freedom are present in his photos of statues. Thus, Kabeer’s photo art offers sensitive explorations into the complex human condition: a deep yearning for freedom and unavoidable bondage.  Some of his works are presented in the black and white scheme: the Taj Mahal, the London Bridge, the dilapidated urban habitat, and the harsh conditions of life. This offers both an archaic presence and its fleeting, fading passage.  Kabeer is fascinated with the many shades and moods of the sky. The sky at different times of the day and night presents multiple possibilities; even the darkness, that is the absence, offers glimpses of potential.   Portraits in Kabeer’s work of people from everyday walks of life present many orientations to the given:  some present deep anguish, while others show contentment even amidst the uncertain. Kabeer’s work offers many ways of seeing and visualizing.

Realms of Peace – IV : The Meditative Art of Bhaskar Singha

The world of art is often seen as a sanctuary—an alternate realm where beauty, thought, and emotion converge. Few artists embody this idea more completely than Bhaskar Singha, whose upcoming solo exhibition, “Realms of Peace – IV,” promises to be both a visual and spiritual journey.

The exhibition was inaugurated on Tuesday, 15th April 2025 by Sudipto Sen, noted film director of The Kerala Story and Bastar; Mr. Mohan Thombre, retired IAS officer; Mrs. Sujata Bali of Miran Production,  Mr. Rakesh Gupta, Director of Routes 2 Roots NGO; and Mr. Sujit Das, Executive Vice President – Creative, Turmeriq.

Bhaskar Singha is not merely a painter—he is a seeker, a chronicler of life’s simplicity, and a spiritual explorer. Over the last 28 years, he has developed a unique visual language, initially through watercolour, and later through acrylic on canvas. His early watercolours are noted for their distinct layering technique—ten to twelve translucent washes that often resemble stencil work or the wax resist textures of batik.

As his journey progressed, so did his themes. Singha often chooses issue-based subjects—child labour, devotion, psychology, Sanatan philosophy—transforming them into meditative reflections on canvas. His deep connection with the Ramakrishna Mission infused his art with a stronger spiritual dimension, and the influence of Sanatan Sanskriti became increasingly central to his work.

Singha’s artworks are rich in symbolism and atmosphere. One can sense the cool breeze on a beach, the rustling of leaves, or the searing heat of a summer day—each natural element crafted with emotional nuance. In works like ‘Youth,’he portrays the fire and competitive spirit of young people across genders, highlighting the evolving roles of women in society. In another series, inspired by the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, he created pieces such as ‘Run for Clean India,’ capturing the ripple effect of one individual’s actions in inspiring community change.

Amit Gautam, a distinguished visual artist, is celebrated for his exceptional command over the watercolor medium—a form both fluid and elusive, requiring a rare finesse. A postgraduate from National Institute of Design, Amit brings a unique take on contemporary art.

His works have been showcased across prominent galleries both in India and internationally, including the Fall Brook Art Centre, Middletown Arts Centre, Mooresevevilla Arts Centre, Pryor Art Gallery, and the Michelson Museum of Art in the United States.

Watercolor, by its very nature, demands both patience and precision. To coax such a mercurial medium into form is an art in itself—and in Gautam’s work, viewers are treated to a masterclass in this delicate balance. His portraits, the highlight of this exhibition, are imbued with quiet intensity and a profound sensitivity to human expression. Faces in his paintings do not merely exist—they speak, they reveal, they evoke.

Gautam’s fascination with the human condition—particularly the nuances of the face—forms the emotional core of his artistic journey. The human figure has remained a consistent theme in his explorations, serving both as subject and metaphor. In his portraits, each face becomes a narrative—etched in color, shadow, and silence.

This exhibition is not a declaration, but an invitation—to experience the poetic drama of light and pigment, of flowing color harnessed within form. The works are as unrestrained as they are composed—a celebration of color, contemplation, and craft.

His paintings strike a rare harmony between conceptual precision and expressive freedom.

The exhibition is open to all, from 11 AM to 7 PM daily, and admission is free of charge. Art connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike are warmly invited to witness this exquisite confluence of technique and soul, and to immerse themselves in a visual experience that is both profound and poetic.
