Winters in Delhi signal the onset of the art season.
Galleries and cultural centres are adorned with the best of modern and contemporary art, and connoisseurs are delighted by the sheer variety on display.
One would be hard-pressed to visit all the art exhibitions on view currently, so here is a guide to the ones that caught our eye: 1. Francis Newton SouzaCentenary Exhibition by Saffron Art Dates: Friday, January 10 - Wednesday, January 22, 2025 Venue: Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA), Bikaner House, New Delhi "Renaissance painters painted men and women making them look like angels. I paint for angels, to show them what men and women really look like," is a quote attributed to the legendary modernist and founder of the Progressive Artists' Group, F N Souza.
To commemorate his birth centenary, Saffronart has organised a definitive exhibition showcasing his life and work in partnership with the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, Grosvenor Gallery in London, and Harper Collins.
Apart from a display of works, talks and panel discussions on Souza's historical significance in the art market were also organised on the opening weekend. Additionally, a film by Vinod Bhardwaj titled 'FN Souza: Father of Modern Indian Art' was screened and an illustrated book was launched. Published by Harper Collins India, it contained essays on Souza by Elena Crippa, Murtaza Vali, Roobina Karode, Jesal Thacker, and Yashodara Dalmia. The exhibition is the culmination of a year-long celebration that opened with an exhibition in Goa titled 'In/Of Goa: Souza at 100' in Goa, followed by one in London, and another in Art Mumbai in November 2024.
