NOT what Mumbai art is about 2012-05-23
Jehangir art gallery is not, and should not be considered as a benchmark for the art scene in Mumbai. That is because the gallery space is easily rented out to artists, and most of the times these artists are not very good. Having said that, some art shows hosted here have been exceptional. But going by the recent past, I would not recommend jehangir art gallery to travellers and budding art students. Art connoisseurs are well aware of the fact that the best ART as such, is found at some less popular galleries in Colaba.... From all the galleries I have been visiting and frequently so, I recommend... read more -

Much needed artistic relief! 2010-12-01
Truly commendable in the age where time has become a luxury, the Jehangir Art Gallery draws one into the world of art and reminds us why reflection on perspectives on life is necessary for the well-being of the soul. Exploring different art forms, including post modern art, truly broadens the horizon of the person exposed, the gallery makes brilliant use of its ample space for every exhibition, and chooses carefully, the artiste, so as to give even a regular visitor, a completely different perspective every time. A must visit for anyone in Mumbai, and one time is never enough, for it is like the... read more -

The Dame's New Bindhi (XL size) 2009-06-18
I have visited Jehangir frequently for the last 4 years, and really must stop myself from going in next time I get tempted.
I say this as I have never been impressed with any of the exhibitions I have seen there. Either I am left struggling to recognize any talent and originality, or am desperately seeking some semblance of theme and form.
This is therefore the perfect gallery for the "hotel bedroom/chocolate box" art connoisseur, or those suffering from a bout of the Emperor's New Clothes syndrome (Dolly Thakore and the rest of the Page 3 crowd take note).

'VERSIFICATION OF LINE AND COLOUR' 2009-06-13
Line is the forte of Nabakishore's paintings. They swirl, surge, intertwine, even retreat and move diagrammatically convering the pictorial space. Nabakishore lets his pen or brush move on the paper freely. The figures born out of those lines and of the exuberant colour splashes have a naive charm about them. They show faces of a next-door girl or of a folk deity and recall the images that we see in folk art of rural Bengal. In his paintings, symboils including the phallic ones create a primordial ambience. His browns and yellows, red and greens trapped in the darkness make up a rich fabric of... read more -
