Verve Weekend Guide

From an alternative Blues performance to dessert baking classes, Verve gives you the lowdown on the events that should be on your radar this weekend…

ART

Invisible Presence – A solo show by Santana Gohain, Mumbai

The artist’s latest exhibition has on display recent works that trace her journey from text to textile and finally to line. Santana Gohain’s drawings take inspiration from text, literature, doodling and even child-like scribbling. ‘I have often questioned myself as to why a child doodles, so, I have tried to mimic the way a child moves his or her hands, and creates with spontaneity. My text works are in no known language – the lines represent the languages both known and unknown to me personally,’ says the artist about her works.
Invisible Presence is on display at Rukshaan Art (Second Floor, Dresswala House, Near Lion’s Gate, Fort), Mumbai until January 27.

Jangarh Singh Shyam, A Conjuror’s Archive, New Delhi

This is the last weekend to catch this exposition that celebrates the works of lauded Indian contemporary artist Jangarh Singh Shyam. Titled A Conjuror’s Archive, the show presents to viewers the artist’s many vibrant Gond creations. A leading artist, Shyam is known for creating a new school of art called ‘Jangarh Kalam’, that involves the use of paper and canvas in each intricate painting. The artist’s work has been exhibited widely across the world including Bhopal, Delhi, Tokyo and New York.
Jangarh Singh Shyam, A Conjuror’s Archive is on display at KNMA (145, South Court Mall, Saket), New Delhi until January 12.
