Jyoti Bhatt the multidisciplinary genius, the artist who set his own trail with enduring attributes of various media materials and versatile facet of exploration and experimentation. Manushya aur Prakriti is a select retrospective of intaglios, etchings prints and serigraphs - a humble attempt at showcasing his aesthetic.
From his travels that took him into the depths of India's folk idioms to his contemporary printmaking practice this show is about unveiling Jyoti Bhatt the modernist. We also celebrate his Padma Shri Award knowing full well that it should have been much sooner:
From the academic still life to the portrait to the illustrative and his satire and wit woven into his encounters with the self and the world this show is an attempt to present a small cameo.
