Terracotta and bronze sculptures. Pencil drawings. Silver paintings, relief murals and burnt paper collages. In his six-decade-long career, Himmat Shah has done it all. And now, viewers have a chance to see over 300 of the artiste’s creations at the first comprehensive exhibition of his works. From cones, spheres and cylinders to temples, flags and beehives, Shah’s artworks are a showcase into his marvelling the beauty of the changing form. “If there is an Indian artist who possesses the free-spiritedness of the bohemian and has embraced the emancipatory disposition of art, it has to be Himmat Shah,” says curator Roobina Karode about the artiste whose retrospective is on display.
