An exhibition in New Delhi showcases paintings that trace the hills and rivers of Arunachal Pradesh, reflecting the artist’s formative years.
The capital’s contemporary art space opened a solo show this week that brings the remote scenery of Arunachal Pradesh to an urban audience. Curated by Architect and Interiors India, the exhibition runs for three weeks at the Gallery 101 venue on Lodhi Road, featuring a series of oil and mixed‑media works.
The artist, born and raised in the foothills of the Eastern Himalayas, draws on memories of mist‑clad valleys, swift mountain streams and tribal villages that shaped his early outlook. After completing his formal training in Delhi, he returned to his roots through canvas, aiming to preserve the visual language of his homeland.
Works on display range from panoramic landscapes bathed in sunrise hues to intimate studies of local flora. Critics note the subtle palette and layered textures that convey both nostalgia and a contemporary sensibility. Visitors have responded positively, citing the exhibition’s ability to bridge regional heritage with modern artistic practice.
The show also includes a short documentary screening that chronicles the artist’s journey from Arunachal’s remote districts to the national art circuit, underscoring the cultural dialogue between India’s northeast and its metropolitan centers.
