Nutshell
Impressions
Darshan Sharma presented a solo exhibition titled `Impressions' at the Habiart Gallery. His paintings draw upon a wide variety of themes and the motif and characters that he chooses for his depiction are easily recognisable.
Conversations
Gallery Threshold presented `Conversations', works of Amritah Sen and Viraj Naik. Amritah Sen is an artist from Shantiniketan. She uses watercolours mostly, sometimes weaving in the collage. If an artist could work in aquatints, etchings, mixed media and watercolours, Viraj Naik is able to do all these with equal prowess.
