The recent solo art exhibition featuring Mamta Malhotra’s “The Cradles in Which Our Essence Evolved” at the Open Palm Court Gallery, Habitat Centre, New Delhi, was a resounding success. The exhibition, inaugurated by Murli Manohar Joshi, unfolded from December 19th to December 22nd, 2023. Mr. Joshi expressed his admiration for Mamta’s work, acknowledging her artistic prowess.
Mamta’s ability to blend line, color, form, and texture in a harmonious way captivated attendees. Her exploration of urban landscapes, figurative and abstract studies, utilizing oil paint, acrylic, and mixed media, provided a diverse and engaging experience for art enthusiasts. The theme of the exhibition, “Ma,” added depth and meaning to the collection.
The infusion of Sanskrit shlokas and architectural elements in Mamta’s creations created a unique visual vocabulary, seamlessly merging tradition with the contemporary. The artworks resonated with the ephemeral beauty of Varanasi’s urban fabric, reflecting the vitality of its ancient and vibrant lifestyle.
The inauguration ceremony was graced by esteemed guests, including Vasundhra Broota, Sunit Tandon, Sudip Roy, Sheela Chamaria, Asit Patnayak, Vilas Kulkarni, and Shobha Broota.
