Event Description : 'A Tale of Eternity and Tranquility' an exhibition of paintings by Suruchi Jamkar. 

About the exhibition : Suruchi Jamkar’s 25th solo exhibition, showcasing 30 paintings in Oil on
canvas, and acrylic on canvas. They depict the reaction of an imaginative mind to several visually and spiritually stimulating places and experiences.
These myriad impressions and artistic meditations are experienced through her travels. “ Every journey is an exploration - be it travelling to a remote pottery village, a nearby spiritual place or an inward journey towards your childhood memories. Now is the time to lie back, explore and enjoy,” says Suruchi. It is this creativity inspired by her memories and musings that has found expression
on her canvasses.
The use of earthen monochromatic colours at times fusing with the vibrant bright ones and her unique style which is very narrative and appealing conveys her story most eloquently. Dry brushing and at times thick knife application of oil paints gives a convincing depth to her works.
These techniques have helped her create the feeling of languorous comfort and easy pace, away from the rush of the rat race outside. We invite you to come and be a part of her rich and peaceful world.
