Explore "Beneath the Surface," an enthralling group exhibition showcasing the imaginative works of nine exceptionally talented abstract artists from various regions across the country. This remarkable exhibition is currently on display at Method Juhu and will be enchanting art enthusiasts until November 1.

'Beneath the Surface' is a group exhibition that showcases abstract art, one of the most intriguing and enigmatic forms of artistic expression. It has the unique ability to convey meaning without imposing a specific interpretation on the viewer. It empowers the observer with the freedom to personally interpret each piece, emphasizing the role of interaction in the artistic experience. Unlike other art forms that demand immediate interpretation, abstract art invites viewers to explore the depths of human experience and discover their own significance beneath the surface.

This exhibition presents the artistic endeavours of nine artists: Sshubham Malu, Nilesh P Shaharkar, Dheeraj Yadav, Tia Shah, Nehal Verma, Kritika Soni, Dipesh Raj, Harman Taneja, and Ravi Morya, hailing from diverse backgrounds, each employing an array of mediums and styles.

Dheeraj Jadhav

Dheeraj Jadhav's practice explores ways of documenting the sensory experience of the vibrancy of the colours of textiles that were owned by his grandmother.

Tia Shah

Tia Shah is a visual artist based in Mumbai who uses art as a mode of self-discovery and intimate expression. She is constantly experimenting with fluidity and abstract composition. While she allows the paint to move in an intuitive manner, she often details works with intentional, defined strokes. Each brush or pen stroke is a meditative practice moved by the ebb and flow of natural existence and humanity.

Consequently, Kritika's ceramic creations serve as a visual homage to life's imperfections, ultimately infusing each piece with profound character and enduring beauty.
