Art and Wildlife Photography Unite in ‘Reflections of Nature’
An art exhibition called ‘Reflections of Nature’ was held at the Birla Academy of Arts & Culture.
It featured Chinese-style brushwork paintings of Indian landscapes by Nandita Bhattacharjee and wildlife photography by Sandip Bhattacharjee.
The exhibition aimed to show the beauty of nature and also highlight ecological concerns.
Nandita uses Chinese rice paper and watercolors to create her paintings without any preliminary sketches.
Sandip's photographs capture wild moments from nature.
The exhibition also seeks to bring back an old art form that was influenced by Rabindranath Tagore.
Both the art and photography aim to reconnect people with nature and inner awareness.
The exhibition ‘Reflections of Nature’ combined Chinese-style brushwork paintings of Indian landscapes with wildlife photography.
Nandita Bhattacharjee's paintings use Chinese rice paper and watercolors, depicting Indian themes without preliminary sketches.
Sandip Bhattacharjee's wildlife photography complements the paintings, focusing on untamed moments from nature.
The exhibition aims to revive the nearly forgotten tradition of Chinese brushwork in India, influenced by Rabindranath Tagore.
The artworks emphasize ecological concerns, depicting the duality of nature's beauty and human exploitation.
