DELHI: Gallery Espace presents ‘Recent works by Amit Ambalal’, an exhibition of oil paintings on canvas and sculptures in bronze by the ahmedabad-based veteran artist Amit Ambalal. Enraptured by his dream of becoming a painter, he sold his family-owned business (a textile mill) in 1977 to pursue his passion. A pupil of veteran artist Chhaganlal Jadhav, Ambalal’s engagement with arts extends to a wide ground of historical research, documentation and, importantly, with the Nathdwara school of painting. Ambalal is a satirist-painter who develops parody, caricature and mimicry into images taken from everyday life. The works have a directness of appeal that gives them an assertive quality. The paintings have an autobiographical narrative with Ambalal, his wife, their dog and Lord Hanuman – figures from known and imagined spaces.

From July 21 to August 12.
