Solo Exhibition by Amit Ambalal

The upcoming solo exhibition at Gallery Espace features recent works by Amit Ambalal, offering a whimsical yet profound exploration of animals, birds, and nature. Ambalal’s paintings blend humor, wit, and social commentary, as seen in works like Chronology of Love, where his dog Snow leaves “pathways of love,” and Tantric Tota, which humorously depicts a parrot predicting election results. Animals like monkeys, tigers, and elephants populate his canvases, symbolizing human desires, social dynamics, and interconnectedness.

Ambalal’s style combines spontaneity with deliberate mastery of watercolors and pastels, influenced by Nathdwara Pichwai paintings. His work reflects both personal observations and a deep engagement with art history, resulting in vibrant, expressive pieces that invite discovery and reflection.

Gallery Espace, established in 1989 by Renu Modi, is renowned for its support of contemporary Indian art and artists, including influential figures like MF Husain. The gallery promotes diverse practices, bridging traditional and contemporary Indian art movements.
