Kalakriti Art Gallery will present a solo show of Satadru Sovan Banduri's latest works. The exhibition, Disappearing Echoes of the Isolated, will feature works across a range of media, including canvases. The paintings draw you in with their vibrant dreamlike visuals, featuring a variety of flora and fauna. The show carries forth the artist's engagement with 'speculative ecology, metamorphic embodiment and post-human imagination'. 'Satadru Sovan Banduri does not offer coherent answers or stable meanings. Rather his works stage speculative encounters with ruin, with pleasure, with after-life,' writes curator Satyajit Dave. Preview on 11 July; exhibition will be on till 5 August at Kalakriti, Hyderabad, 11am-7pm. A painting from the art show, 'Jangarh Kalam from Patangarh Continued'.

'At its core, it is a living homage to the late Jangarh Singh Shyam, a visionary artist, who revolutionised the course of Gond painting, bringing its traditional forms into a new idiom, recognised across the world as the 'Jangarh Kalam',' states the curatorial note.
