Event Description : EXHIBITION "Shakhein: Another Tree, Another Sky" solo art show by Renuka Varma.
The show has been curated by Dr Alka Pande and depicts a refreshing perspective on nature and environment, especially trees. It includes nearly 30 paintings in oils and acrylics on canvas.
Renuka’s paintings not only reflect her passion as an artist but also a deep concern for the fast depleting forest cover in our country. “I grew up in the foothills of the Himalayas,” she says. “The mountains were lush green, there was ample snow in winter, and the valleys were full of flowers in summer. I spent most of my spare time sitting outdoors, watching the changing moods of the forest, and listening to the sounds of nature. I often go to Mussoorie even now and I’m pained to see how the landscape has changed. These forests have almost disappeared as the hills have been vandalized by all of us. I still live in those forests, and relive those monsoon sunsets, the green hills turning pink, purple and gold. In my mind, I touch again those mountain slopes, sway again with the trees, and walk amidst the lush undergrowth of the forest. I have tried to paint some of these memories that refuse to leave the recesses of my mind. The forests are disappearing and this is true for the entire country. Through my work, I want to not only revisit my childhood but also bring back focus on why environment and its protection are important.”
