“Dive into a realm of colors, emotions, and thought-provoking themes at Prismatic Narratives, the upcoming solo exhibition by acclaimed contemporary artist Ranjit Sarkar. Hosted at the Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre in New Delhi, this artistic showcase promises to be a vibrant exploration of the ephemeral and the eternal,” says the organizers of the show.

“Ranjit Sarkar’s bold departure from conventional color schemes breathes life into his unique vision of modernity and emotion. Through mood-based, expressive palettes, he crafts an interplay of fleeting fashions and timeless values. His works juxtapose modern-day imagery with themes like the celestial union of marriage, evoking deep dialogues between the ever-changing and the enduring—a parallel to the modernist ideals championed by 19th-century French critic Charles Baudelaire,” added.
