Dear Sir,
Subject: Visit to an art gallery
Through the columns of your esteemed magazine, I would like to share the experiences of my recent visit to an art gallery, which showcases the art work of visually challenged people. The art gallery named Inner Eye is rightly named as it shows how the visually challenged artists from various parts of the country express their inner vision, perception and sensibilities through the medium of colour and brush.
The painting exhibition was inaugurated by Hiren Pathak, an eminent art critic. The theme of the paintings ranged from corruption, climate and poverty to the themes of mythology. Some works displayed fusion of styles like the traditional Madhubani style with modern art. Post-modernist trends were also noticed. The management of the art gallery deserves compliments for undertaking the stupendous task of promoting the works of the visually challenged.
The exhibition reminded me of a saying by Shakespeare: “What a piece of work is man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties!” The exhibition was inspiring, motivating and a glaring example of the capabilities of man.
Yours truly,
Natasha Bhatt
