Celebrating India’s rich art heritage, Gallery Ragini, in association with Ambassador, New Delhi – IHCL SeleQtions, presents ‘Colloquial’ – an exhibition of India’s choicest traditional art forms curated and presented by Nidhi Jain. The exhibition opens on Sunday, 21st March and will be on view through April and May at Ambassador, New Delhi – IHCL SeleQtions and simultaneously at the online art luxury platform www.artisera.com. The occasion also celebrates the glory of Lutyens’ Delhi, raising a toast to the legacy and heritage of the iconic hotel nestled in Sujan Singh Park.

Colloquial brings together five traditional art forms – Gond, Pichwai, Kalamkari, Pattachitra and Madhubani – through the works of seven revered artists. Dhavat Singh, the Gond artist, regales us with folk-lore, tribal myths and views on contemporary issues in his narrative. Dhavat belongs to the Jangarh family, a celebrated name in Gond artistry; he takes forward this tradition and makes it more relevant in contemporary times.
