A unique art exhibition titled 'Alchemy of Light' is set to open in Worli next month, from April 12 to May 11, 2026. This show focuses on the intricate technique of metal leafing, bringing together eight diverse artists. Curated by Bina Aziz, the exhibition utilizes gold, silver, copper, and champagne finishes to create works that respond dynamically to light.
Each participating artist, including Arzan Khambatta and Laila Khan, brings their distinct interpretation of the theme. Khambatta combines wood, resin, and metal leafing for tactile forms, while Khan seeks inner luminosity. Artist Archana Srivastava, also hosting at Les Trésors Art Gallery, explores contrasts between jute textures and gold sheen.
The 'Alchemy of Light' exhibition distinguishes itself through its interactive quality. As light plays upon the surfaces, the art shimmers and transforms, offering a fluid and ever-changing visual experience. The show aims to provide audiences with a radiant confluence of creativity, material innovation, and spiritual depth.
