Romanticism has remained a popular subject among artists worldwide, and for good reason. It is a simple and relatable theme that resonates with audiences of all kinds. Masterpieces such as “The Kiss” by Gustav Klimt, Claude Monet’s “Water Lilies” series, Salvador Dali’s “The Persistence of Memory,” Rembrandt’s “The Night Watch,” Michelangelo’s “Creation of Adam,” and many others have served as exemplars of this genre of painting, inspiring artists to continue creating such works since the beginning of civilization.

Sharad Kale’s style represents this genre as well. When regarding each of his works individually, one cannot escape the feeling of serenity, calmness, and divinity, all at once. His works are lyrical and create a rhythm that engrosses and transpires the viewer into a state of total bliss. Kale uses his canvas surface in a poetic manner, with his human figures and nature in complete synchrony. The artist invariably employs a bright palette that is bold and colorful, leaving the spectator elated.

Sharad’s works mostly depict people from rural areas who are in love. This can be readily discerned by observing the expressions of his subjects. Both men and women’s faces show shyness and deep affection. Moreover, their faces are those of people who are pure and unaffected by the complicated urban world outside the villages. They are dressed in traditional Indian attire. One of the common elements in a few of his works is the flute. Lord Krishna, the romantic god, was known to have played a flute for his Gopis. The moment one sees the flute in Kale’s paintings, they are transported to that era. It brings a feeling of spirituality and divinity to the spectator. He then complements his subjects with natural elements such as flowers, foliage, and sometimes the moon, further enhancing the aura of romance in his composition.

Sharad has successfully achieved a style of his own, and his thought process and painting technique do not fail to deliver what he wants to convey to his audiences.

This show was inaugurated on 23rd May 2023 by Mr. Deepak Mehta in the presence of Prof. Vishwanath Sable, Ms. Meenu Dey, Mr. Sunil Choudhri, Mr. Sandesh Bendre and many others.

A Soulful Voyage: Melding Memories with Visions, a solo exhibition of paintings by Seema Bhargava, alumni of the college of arts in Delhi.  The artist has a breathtaking level of precision and attention to detail, but what truly distinguishes her is her capacity to stir up strong feelings in the viewer with her exquisite creations. She paints all of her landscapes in oil and in substantial sizes, giving the feeling to viewers that they may stroll into these scenes and inhabit their captivating realms. The basis for Seema’s works was formed by her excursions to Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh.

These are works to be admired and enjoyed for their perspectives and for the creative use of pictorial spaces. They carry with them a contagious sense of wonder and it reawakens a wanderlust that most of us share. By weaving a rich tapestry of hues, forms, textures Seema Bhargava melds memories with her own visions on the canvas. As a monk humbly lowers his head while entering a monastery (as seen in one of her works), we are also swept over by a humbling sense of belonging, awe and oneness with the natural world. – Prayag Shukla ( Art Critic ) 

This show was inaugurated on 23rd May 2023 by Mrs Shashi Tripathi in the presence of Dr. Capt G Shetty, Ms. Smita Bhargava, Admiral Tripathi, Mrs. Seema Bhargavav &  CMDE P.K. Malhotra.

Icmei’s Landmark Book On Modi Govt Unveiled In House Of Lords

London, May 20, 2023 – Prominet educationist  Sandeep Marwah has reasons to rejoice. The ground-breaking publication titled “8 years of Modi Sarkar: A Compilation of Achievements” which has taken the Indian diaspora by storm was unveiled by Lord Rami Ranger in the prestigious House of Lords at the British Parliament in London. Authored and brilliantly compiled by Sandeep Marwah, President of International Chamber of Media and Entertainment Industry (ICMEI), this monumental work sheds light on the remarkable accomplishments of the Indian government spanning eight years so far.

The release of this book marks a significant milestone as it represents the first-ever book on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to be presented within the esteemed halls of the House of Lords. The credit for this commendable feat goes to the dynamic Marwah, whose unwavering dedication and painstaking efforts have encapsulated the comprehensive range of India’s achievements between two hard covers.

Addressing the distinguished guests comprising London’s elite, Lord Ranger expressed his astonishment at the depth and breadth of the accomplishments chronicled within a single book. He acknowledged that prior to its publication, the true extent of India’s progress remained largely unknown, making this book an invaluable resource and reference for individuals seeking to familiarise themselves with the government’s multifaceted endeavours and achievements in various fronts.

Marwah, speaking at the momentous occasion, emphasised the meticulousness employed in compiling the book’s contents. It features a lucid and concise writing style, presented in a point-wise, department-wise format to ensure accessibility and understanding for a diverse readership. Marwah further reiterated his desire for an international release of the book aiming to rectify the misinformation that has often permeated global perceptions of India’s accomplishments.

It may be noted that the first copy of the book was presented to the esteemed former President of India, Shri Ram Nath Kovind, before being officially launched in London. The release of this seminal work is poised to illuminate the immense progress and development witnessed in India over the past eight years, dispelling misconceptions and fostering a deeper appreciation for the nation’s remarkable achievements.

“8 years of Modi Sarkar: A Compilation of Achievements” is set to serve as an authoritative reference for individuals, scholars and policymakers, providing a comprehensive understanding of India’s transformative journey under the able leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

A book of outstanding value and accomplishment! Happy reading..
