Pristine Contemporary presents The Weight of Love, a solo exhibition of works by Varad Bang. Inspired by the internationally acclaimed film-director Wong Kar Wai’s movie, In the Mood for Love, the exhibition explores themes of love, longing, and time through the evocative canvases of Varad Bang, an expressive and introspective Indian artist whose work bridges classical techniques with contemporary narratives. Translating key scenes from the film into atmospheric paintings, Bang captures its signature slow, languid motion and deep emotional restraint.
Varad Bang, trained at the Florence Academy of Art, specialises in classical drawing, painting, and sculpture, mastering Old Master techniques with a focus on anatomy, light, and form; elements that define the 18 artworks showcased in The Weight of Love. Bang’s paintings elevate the personal to the universal, evoking lost time, unspoken desires, and the paths taken together and apart.
