An exhibition titled Sacred Spaces is currently on display, highlighting the extensive artistic journey of V. Ramesh. The exhibition traces his evolution from figurative depictions of Visakhapatnam's fisherfolk in the 1980s and early 1990s to his later, more allegorical and devotional works. This solo show is curated by Tunty Chauhan and was previewed at CCA Gallery, Bikaner House.
The event commenced with a 30-minute performance by Navtej Johar, featuring vocals by Balachandran Raghavan, which was conceived as a tribute to Ramesh's art. The exhibition is not merely a retrospective but rather an exploration of how a singular artistic inquiry has deepened over a lifetime.
Sacred Spaces also introduces a new collection of canvases and large-format watercolors by the artist. The opening was attended by numerous prominent figures from Delhi's art scene, including artists and enthusiasts, underscoring the significance of Ramesh's contribution to contemporary art.
