Art Route Gallery conducted the solo show by Nawal Kishore in Gurugram
The Art Route Gallery conducted a solo exhibition by artist Nawal Kishore in Gurugram. The show named The Aesthetic View is based on the theme of empathy, attraction, sensuality, wonderment and compatibility in man-woman relationships. The artworks create a tapestry of life with the concepts of love, beauty and bonding. In a world seeking kindness and understanding, Kishore’s portrayal of the human relationship holds a special relevance. The show was inaugurated on October 14, 2023 by Prayag Shukla, poet and art critic and Utkarsh Veer, founder and managing director of Rocksalt on October 15, 2023 and will be on view from October 16 – October 31, 2023.
Nawal Kishore’s enigmatic human figures with stylized angular faces are ordinary men and women who, transformed by the emotion of love, celebrate life and its wholesome beauty. On peeling the layers, Kishore’s lucid characters, presented with sophistication and sensuality, reveal multiple layers of deeply profound sensitivity towards one another.
Commenting on the art of Nawal Kishore, Prayag Shukla said, “Bringing human figures into paintings has always been a challenge in art, until the human figure is communicated in a trustworthy manner, in its portraits, in its forms and in its emotions. It is satisfying that the human figure in Nawal’s paintings is not just decorative, but it touches human emotion as well.”

Lubna Sen, director of The Art Route Gallery and curatorial advisor to the show said, “Artist Nawal Kishore draws upon the age-old philosophy of ancient Indian aesthetics and tradition of ‘rasas’ to infuse authenticity and depth into his paintings. His subjects, with their nuanced body language, resonate with sensitivity and compassion.”
