Spreading hues of innocence

ART EXHIBITION..

The best way to capture the myriad hues of a child’s imagination is by giving them a canvas, colours and painting brush. Colours spread in the most innocent way it could be.

Their stories may be simple but it has all the elements to reach the core of anyone’s heart. Bringing together the vivid imaginations of children and showcasing it to the world, Art Life Gallery organised The Colour of Mistletoe - an exhibition of paintings by 23 children.

A variety of works, ranging from canvas to murals and paper collages were put on display at the gallery. Interestingly, these children, under the guidance of their mentors Shivani Sharma and Amrit Kapoor, got a direction regarding projection of their imagination on canvas. “All the children have toggled with various mediums like oil pastels, acrylics, poster paints, dry pastels, charcoal etc,” said Shivani Sharma.

Carrying forward its philosophy to promote upcoming talent, Art Life Gallery in Noida, Sector-44, has now decided to literally catch them young. Pratibha Agarwal, co-promoter of Art Life Gallery, said, “We continue to be a strong patron of arts and it is in continuation of this philosophy that we have conducted the group show by children. The intent of this exhibition is to explore the vivid imagination of little children.”

“Besides livening up the gallery walls with their beautiful and colourful works, we are giving them an opportunity to express their creativity through paintings, drawings and collages,” Agarwal said.

“The emphasis is on displaying completed artworks, which distinguishes Art Life Gallery from most other children's art programmes. Here, young people participate fully in selecting, mounting, organising and hanging art.”
