Event Description : Sharad Haksar, one of India’s most renowned photographers, will be showcasing his finest travel photos at an exhibition titled ‘Red, White & Blue’. Red and White symbolize the flag colors of Japan while Blue and White represent the national hues of Iceland.
Explains Sharad, “Japan and Iceland have always fascinated me as a photographer. More than the people and the culture, the pristine of the landscape excites my mind’s eye. The burst of colours on display is truly breathtaking and simply unparalleled. In my journeys to these countries, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing nature’s resplendence. This exhibition is my way of sharing the immeasurable beauty of two heavens on earth.”
RED offers a rare glimpse of the autumn season in Japan when the koyo or coloured leaves are in full bloom. The koyo season typically begins in mid-September in Hokkaido to the north, gradually spreading to the southern end of the Japanese archipelago in about 50 days. During the peak period, the leaves of the maple and gingko trees turn red and yellow in concert presenting the viewer, a stunning, and picturesque scenery, at every turn.
The WHITE series is a visual chronicle of the blossoming of the white cherry blossom or the sakura. Seen widely by the Japanese as a symbol of elegance, hope, sacrifice and new beginnings, the blossom holds enormous attraction in the country. There are over 200 varieties of sakura in Japan and most of them grow to a height of 25 feet to 50 feet with a canopy spreading up to 40 feet wide.
BLUE is an ode to the surreal scapes of Iceland. The enthralling collection of images is a result of the exhilaration and excitement that Sharad experienced as he tried to capture the out-of–this-world like terrain of Iceland. From the azure crystal caves in Jokursarlon’s glaciers to the black volcanic beaches in Vik, Iceland’s tranquil natural beauty had ample inspiration to offer to Sharad’s creative instincts.
In all, 80 spectacular images will be on show. The exhibition will be for five days at India Habitat Centre. And it will also provide a sneak peek into some of the iconic work of Sharad Haksar. Collectors can buy signed limited edition prints starting at just Rs. 7500.
