Statement of Exhibition

           Female figure representation has always been a symbol to signify beauty. Cave
men worshiped the goddesses carved into small sculptures depicting the
earliest artistic expression, for the admiration of beauty and power to give
birth, which is one of the many attributes of Almighty. Greeks and Romans also
depicted female figures in their most idyllic, tranquil and exquisite form, to
represent Goddesses of love, beauty and wisdom. Over the centuries, female
figure portrayal during the assorted art movements has changed a lot, but its
symbolism to represent beauty remained same. However, physical ideals
varied manifesting the cultures they came from. Female figure painting never
had to make its place in the hierarchy of painting, rather it has always been
there. Centuries ago, Romans started making idealistic female figures in the
shape of hourglass, making her look like a clock where her youth was
comprehended at the moment of blossoming years. Even the walls of Mughal
courts and miniature paintings were filled with Eastern female figures,
depicted in the most flattering and decorative form.
The present show comprises of an assortment of exhibits, depicting female
beauty at different moods. Senior artists along with other emerging names,
present a diverse philosophy for the depiction of female figure in their
paintings. Bright colours, Sepia tones, modern yet traditional representation of
these female figures in the current exhibition signifies our rich and inspiring
cultural roots.
