ART

Colours of Life, Mumbai

Now in its 15th year, the Colours of Life exhibition is bigger and better than ever before. To commemorate 50 years of the Cancer Patients’ Aid Association (CPAA) as well as contribute proceeds from sales to the organisation, the exhibition will have on display works by 106 artists from across the country. From Buwa Shete and Brinda Miller to Jayasri Burman and Lalitha Lajmi, acclaimed and upcoming creators will have some of their most striking art pieces on offer — all for a noble cause.

Sightings: Out of the Wild, Delhi

A group show, Sightings presents a selection of over 150 artworks by 40 artists, from the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art collection as well as other collections. This exhibition aims to highlight ‘an existential void and our increasingly uneasy relationship with the animal world – a splintered world that seeks renewal, contact and oneness with nature’. Featuring works by Himmat Shah, Jagganath Panda, Karen Knorr, Madhvi Parekh, Mithu Sen, MF Husain and more, this show throws the spotlight on the fauna that we should be more considerate of but seldom care for.
Sightings: Out Of The Wild is on display at Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (Noida, Plot No. 3A, Sector 126), Delhi until December 26.
