Summary

A posthumous exhibition titled 'The Poetics of the Ordinary' is currently celebrating the artistic legacy of Mona Bendre. Presented by Art Magnum from February 2 to March 14, 2026, the show features 23 oil-on-canvas works.
Curated by Subhra Mazumdar and Gayatri Mathur, the exhibition highlights Bendre's distinctive visual language. Her paintings transform intimate spaces, still-life arrangements, and nature imagery into meditative sites using a subdued, earthy palette and textured paint applications.
The display includes early works from the late 1960s and a still-life series with brighter hues. The exhibition, made possible by the artist's family, positions Bendre's art as an invitation to pause and appreciate everyday rhythms.
