Edition XIII of Indian Portrait is Time Capsule for Indian Royalty around 1870s

The Voice Within has a theme of contemporary interest

By its fourth annual edition, Abhivyakti, the City Arts Project, has proved that it serves more than the one objective it set out to achieve. Yes, it has provided the much-needed platform to budding artists to demonstrate their talent in Ahmedabad. It has also generated interest among the youth for the arts and has started developing taste for them. It has helped develop sensitivity among artists to understand the complementary nature of the arts. And, among others, it has been creating awareness in society to take them seriously and encourage their practitioners.

Blushing Hues of Spring Priti Bhatt

People change like the weather, but the change in weather is always beautiful, unlike people. In this album ‘Blushing Hues of Spring’ photographer Priti Bhatt, who hails from the heritage city of Ahmedabad, explains us the different moods in nature, in time and the life around us. Her vision of capturing folage in its most organic form gives her viewers an opportunity to connect with the natural atmosphere in all these urbanisations. Her zeal of capturing the vibrancy of nature in its utmost simplicity is what makes here clicks unique as well as picturesque.

A management professional, who is also a serious hobbyist, Priti considers photography as an opportunity to find her inner self. She was always inclined towards capturing the best moments of life, her family and friends, during her early days but her vision towards photography as an art upgraded after meeting veteran photographers and mentor Ketan Modi and Vivek Desai. From there she began capturing unique elements that roam around us while travelling. This album consists pictures that were clicked in the time frame of 3 years at various places of Gujarat, especially Ahmedabad and The Dangs.

The rest of them are ‘despicable’ creatures, the scum of society -with one exception all street dogs. She is all ears on overhearing them talking about religion. Those on the fringe are…

Talking of abstract art Pablo Picasso had once said “There is no abstract art. You must always start with something (in realism). Afterward(s) you can remove all traces of reality.” Joan Mitchell said the opposite when she averred “All art is abstract, but it’s real!” Yes, for sure even as it also has another meaning…
