Light, Colour & Life: Group Exhibition Featuring 18 Artists to Open at Gallery Pradarshak

Gallery Pradarshak will present Light, Colour & Life, a group exhibition featuring 18 artists from six cities, from 8 to 31 October 2026. The exhibition will be accessible online through Gallery Pradarshak and will also include a physical showcase of selected works at Gallery Pradarshak in Khar West, Mumbai. Open from 11 am to 7 pm (except Sundays), the exhibition explores how art can reveal meaning in everyday experiences through colour, light and visual storytelling.

Exploring the Everyday Through Art

According to the organisers, the exhibition centres on the idea that art often emerges from ordinary moments and familiar surroundings. Rather than focusing on a single theme or style, Light, Colour & Life presents multiple artistic perspectives that engage with people, places, memory, imagination and nature.

The exhibition invites visitors to discover personal connections with artworks, whether through recollection, observation or emotional response. Cityscapes, figurative works, landscapes and abstract compositions appear side by side, creating a varied visual experience.

A Cross-Generational Gathering of Artists

The exhibition brings together established practitioners and emerging artists, encouraging dialogue across generations and artistic approaches.

Participating artists include:

Their works collectively explore diverse interpretations of everyday life through distinct visual languages.
