A Group Exhibition of Paintings by two contemporary renowned artists – Vikas Malhara, Hemant Dhane are showing their recent works in Jehangir Art Gallery, Kala Ghoda, Mumbai from 17th to 23rd February 2026 Between 11am to 7pm.

Vikas Malhara

Vikas Malhara operates within a restrained, inward abstraction where form appears only as a trace and colour functions as a carrier of time. The paintings unfold slowly, built from translucent layers of greys, blues, blacks, and earthen whites, creating surfaces that feel weathered rather than composed. Nothing is declared outright; instead, structures emerge hesitantly, as if remembered rather than invented.

Horizontal bands, softened blocks, and interrupted planes suggest landscapes without geography; psychic terrains shaped by pause, erosion, and silence. Malhara’s brushwork avoids emphasis; marks blur into one another, allowing edges to dissolve. This deliberate refusal of sharp definition creates a sense of suspended movement, where forms seem to hover between appearing and disappearing. Blacks carry weight but not aggression, functioning more like anchors of gravity than gestures of dominance.

What distinguishes these works is their temporality. They appear less painted than settled, as if the surface has absorbed breath, hesitation, and repetition over time. The paintings do not resolve; they remain open, incomplete, and quietly receptive. In a visual culture driven by immediacy and assertion, Malhara’s works insist on slowness. They ask the viewer to linger, to inhabit uncertainty, and to experience abstraction not as an idea, but as a state of being.

Hemant Dhane

In his works, Hemant Dhane pares abstraction down to its most disciplined, inward essentials. Colour is not applied; it is settled. Greens hover like atmospheric fields, reds burn without aggression, and yellows appear as brief, almost ethical interruptions. The surfaces hold a soft grain, suggesting repeated acts of layering, erasure, and restraint rather than expressive excess.

Dhane’s compositions resist centrality. Vertical fissures, muted blocks, and barely-there geometries behave like pauses in thought; structures that emerge only to dissolve back into silence. There is a strong sense of held breath: nothing spills, nothing insists. Even the most saturated reds feel meditative rather than dramatic, as if heat has been absorbed and disciplined by time.

What is striking is the balance between control and vulnerability. These paintings do not perform abstraction; they inhabit it. They ask the viewer to slow down, to register colour as duration and form as residue. The result is a quiet, contemplative abstraction where perception itself becomes the subject.

This show was inaugurated on 17th February 2026 by Honourable Guests – Amoli Jain, Naman Jain, Abhedya Jain, Prakash Waghmare, Milind Joshi, Ravindra Mardia, Ashok Hinge among others.
