Madhvi Parekh's art

India Today18-07-2025
Madhvi Parekh's acrylic-on-canvas painting 'Travelling Circus in My Village' (80 x 240 inches, 2024) is one of those large-scale works that simply have to be seen in the flesh. The pixels on your screen cannot come close to reproducing its ambition, its grandeur, its irresistible strangeness. A messianic figure lies at the centre of the triptych, holding a snake aloft like a canopy above his head, the faithful gathering around him slowly. An array of human-animal hybrids fills every corner, the chimeras ranging from a biped cow to a snake with a human head, to a horse that has a human face nestled close to its heart. All the while, a determined-looking man carries a temple on his back. Like the triptychs of Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch, 'Travelling Circus in My Village' tells a story sequentially, and it seems to acquire new details with every fresh glance. The work is part of Madhvi Parekh: Remembered Tales, a solo exhibition at DAG, Delhi, that started on July 11 and shall conclude on August 23.

Hans Niemann does a Magnus Carlsen: Slams desk after losing to Anish Giri

Hans Niemann did a Magnus Carlsen as he banged the table in anger following his loss to Anish Giri in the Esports World Cup playoff on Saturday, July 26. Niemann and Giri were battling it out to seal their spot in the Esports World Cup. Niemann and Giri went against each other in a thrilling contest, and it was the later who went ahead in the end. The Dutch grandmaster won the qualifier by beating Niemann in the first game, holding on to a draw in the second and then blanking the American in the final one. Giri won the match 2.5-0.5 in the end. advertisementHowever, Niemann didn't take the loss too kindly as he was seen slamming the table, just like Carlsen did in the Norway Chess 2025 earlier in the year. Niemann took a few seconds to process the loss before offering the handshake to Giri before going back to his seat.

Clearly irritated by the result, Carlsen slammed the table in anger before shaking the hands of Gukesh. The Indian grandmaster was relieved to get the win and his subsequent reaction also created memes. Gukesh had an honest reaction to the memes based on the moment and said his favourite one was a cat meme. - EndsMust Watch
