Mumbai’s art fraternity gathered at Jehangir Art
Gallery for the opening of Cohesive Impulses, a solo exhibition by noted
contemporary artist Sanjay Kumar Srivastav. The exhibition was inaugurated by
actor Fardeen Khan and Nidhi Choudhari, Director, National Gallery of Modern
Art, Mumbai, alongside Laila Khan and Rupali Suri, in the presence of artists,
collectors and members of the cultural community.
The evening saw a distinguished turnout including
Kavi Srivastava, artists Ratan Saha, Vishwa Sahani, Prakash Bal Joshi, Ramji
Sharma, Sonu Gupta, Vijay Verma, Nagnath, Gautam Mukherjii, Jain Kamal,
curators Sunil Chauhan, Kirti Kumar Gaikwad, Dhaval Mehta, composer and
collector Diesel Dan, veteran photographer Pradeep Chandra, and Dr. (Hon)
Anusha Srinivasan Iyer, among many others.
Sanjay Kumar Srivastav, whose career spans more
than three decades, has exhibited widely across India and internationally in
London, New York, Germany, Singapore, Italy, Russia, Hong Kong and South
Africa. His works form part of important private collections and have been
auctioned by leading art houses, reflecting sustained collector interest.
In Cohesive Impulses, the artist explores the idea
of time as an eternal force that binds the conscious and the subconscious. His
canvases move between the spiritual and the emotional, between silence and
turbulence.
The Mother and Child series radiates warmth yet
carries an undertone of vulnerability. The cityscapes shimmer with light but
hint at isolation beneath urban rhythm. His clown works, rich in colour and
movement, reflect the paradox of joy masking deeper introspection.
Working primarily in oil and acrylic, Sanjay Kumar
Srivastav builds layers of texture and tone that evoke memory, empathy and
human resilience. His practice is not merely aesthetic. It is philosophical. He
sees art as a bridge between the physical and the metaphysical, between
fractured imageries of reality and the possibility of harmony.
