Between Surface And Depth: The Inner Landscapes I An Exhibition By Bharti Verma And Ruchi Chadha
The exhibition Between Surface and Depth: The Inner Landscapes by Bharti Verma and Ruchi Chadha opened on 3rd March at Gallery No. 2 of Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, drawing artists, students, and members of the city’s art community to an engaging inaugural evening. The exhibition will remain on display until 9th March, presenting a body of work that reflects on inner experience, resilience, and the subtle dialogue between surface and depth.
The show was inaugurated by Rajendra Patil, Founder and President of the India Art Festival, along with Rishiraj Sethi, Director of Aura Arts. Their presence added significance to the opening, highlighting the continuing support extended by curators and art platforms toward contemporary artistic practices.
The evening was further marked by the presence of distinguished academicians, including Ganesh Tartare, Professor at the Sir J. J. School of Art, and Him Chatterjee, Vice Chancellor of J.J. School of Art Architecture and Design. Their participation brought together perspectives from both the academic and artistic spheres, enriching the spirit of the occasion.
Visitors to the opening explored works that move between figuration and symbolic abstraction. Bharti Verma’s paintings reflect an inward gaze, where the human form becomes a site of memory, emotion, and introspection. In contrast, Ruchi Chadha’s lotus-inspired compositions evoke themes of renewal and quiet strength, using the flower as a metaphor for growth and emergence.
