Ashvita’s presents Light and Legacy, a group show exploring Pre-modern Art and Plein Air Painting in Madras. The exhibition traces the artistic evolution in Madras through rare pre-modern works and Plein Air style paintings that capture the rich landscapes, culture, and history of the city. Featured artists include renowned figures such as D.P. Roy Chowdhury, K.C.S. Paniker, S. Dhanapal and R. Krishna Rao. Additionally, the exhibition will also showcase — for the first time in Chennai — works by early Bengal School artists such as Abanindranath Tagore, Gaganendranath Tagore and Nandalal Bose, alongside leading figures of Bombay’s modernist movement like S.H. Raza, Walter Langhammer, M.S. Joshi and others.
