Aalekh Arts & Culture Foundation is presenting “Shades of Grey,” a contemporary art exhibition by artist Divyaman Singh, from 26–28 March 2026 at Sabha Gallery, Bangalore. The exhibition brings together a series of abstract oil-on-canvas works that reflect on the emotional dimensions of womanhood.
A Contemplative Exploration of Womanhood
Presented during the month of International Women’s Day, the exhibition focuses on the layered emotional landscapes associated with women’s experiences. Rather than representing the female form directly, the artworks create atmospheric spaces using tonal greys, shifting horizons and textured compositions that evoke introspection.
Artistic Language and Visual Approach
Divyaman Singh’s practice in this exhibition centres on abstraction, using minimal colour palettes and layered textures. The dominance of grey tones allows for subtle transitions and depth, inviting viewers to interpret emotional states through landscape-like imagery rather than figurative representation.
Opening Ceremony and Dignitaries
The exhibition will be inaugurated by Santosh Lad, with Bose Krishnamachari attending as Guest of Honour. Their presence situates the exhibition within a broader cultural and artistic dialogue in the city.
