Women artists showcase diverse range of perspective through art

Contemporary art exhibition “Chitrayan: Journey Through Art” at the Alankar Art Gallery of Jawahar Kala Kendra is offering a diverse range of perspective brought together on canvas.

The exhibition attracted a distinguished crowd on its opening day. The exhibition brings together four talented women artists—each with a distinct creative voice, yet united by their deep roots in Rajasthan. Artists Nidhi Choudhari, Nikita Tater, Paridhi Jain and Shagun Agrawal have showcaseed their creativity, reflecting a range of mediums and dimensions.

The works on display range from classical to contemporary attracted the art fraternity and art-lovers of the city.

Together, their works draw inspiration from travels across the globe, creating an artistic narrative that is global in outlook yet deeply anchored in local culture. The exhibition shall continue till 31st August, 2025.

Shagun Agarwal, a psychologist by training and an artist since childhood, has showcased her creativity through her art-works. A multi-disciplinary creative, choosing to call herself an artist while also being a psychologist, copywriter, and graphic designer, Shagun's art work explores the insides of her mind.

Although her work sits fittingly among the themes of identity exploration, spiritual oneness, spiritual distraught, shifting mental landscapes, gender, the body---she likes to leave interpretations of her artwork to the viewer.

Her paintings titled ' A Journey Inward' were mostly created during COVID when one was forced to sit with their self, this series of artwork follows a trajectory deeply personal to the artist, yet one that has been universally felt by us living beings. Sharing more about her artwork, she says, "This journey inward was a rediscovery of the self – moving from surreal union of beings and finding an ideal world to live in towards tumultuous transition. To finding and unfinding oneself in isolation, and then a heavy crawl to renewal, rebirth and starting afresh."
