Laxma Goud’s raw and the vivacious portrayal of men and women in bronze exude the rustic, albeit fascinating Indian ethos rather than stressing upon any specific individual identity.

Painter Jayasri Burman’s bronze sculptures are an extension of her paintings, her concern for women is evident in her paintings and sculptures. She desires to see her women content in partaking in the bounties of life.

Eminent artist Sakti Burman's journey to sculpting solid forms is a shift from his usual artistic expression - oil paintings with unique multi-coloured surface textures.The sculptures cast in bronze are figurative forms, depicting men and animals in various poses.

Young artist Narayan Sinha creation ‘Man, Machine & Nature’ inspires from nature and executed with man-made machine ‘horns’ to create a flower. He tries to show human relation with nature in all aspects of life.

Painter, metal worker and ceramist turned into a sculptor, Nandagopal magically transforms our strong traditional roots into a super-contemporary idiom that is uniquely his own. His figures mostly resemble deities from Hindu mythology, but his themes are very contemporary.

The show will have the sculptures in the medium of bronze, fiberglass, ceramic and wood.
