Kala Bandhan: A Captivating Painting Exhibition by Shreekant and Vandana Dubey in New Delhi
Team L&M
Kala Bandhan, an extraordinary painting exhibition by husband-wife duo Shreekant Dubey and Vandana Dubey, is currently on display at Paridhi Art Gallery, Saraswati Marg, Karol Bagh, New Delhi. Running from April 11 to April 23, the show offers visitors a unique journey through the couple’s artistic evolution and shared passion for painting.
Sreekant Dubey – Art Beyond Limits
A differently-abled artist with a Master’s degree in Fine Arts, Sreekant Dubey paints with his left hand after losing his right arm at the age of 14 due to a tragic accident. Undeterred, he trained his left hand to masterfully create artworks that blend Indian mysticism, spirituality, and traditional motifs. His paintings evoke emotion and connect deeply with the soul, transcending mere visual appeal.
Sreekant who holds a Masters degree in Fine Arts, is a differently-abled artist. He paints with his left hand, and is quite adept at it. He lost his right arm at the age of 14 as an electric pole fell on him. But, the gutsy boy didn’t let it dampen his spirits. He trained his left hand to do everything that a right hand can do. And, over the years became an excellent artist. His works, portraying the essence of mysticism interwoven in the traditional fabric of India, appeal more to the soul than to the mind.
Vandana Dubey – Figurative Art and Folk Narratives
Vandana Dubey, a self-taught artist and post-graduate in Sociology, began painting after her marriage to Sreekant. Guided by her husband, she honed her skills and developed her own distinctive style. Vandana specializes in figurative paintings, focusing on village life, folklore, and religious festivals. Her works offer a vibrant contrast to Sreekant’s expansive thematic range. Sreekant’s work includes nature, navras, nav griha, dance, and depictions of Lord Krishna. Vandana learnt from her husband and also shares the studio with him. But, her work is remarkably different from his.
A Must-Visit Exhibition in Delhi
Sharing a studio but expressing unique visions, the Dubeys’ works complement each other beautifully. Kala Bandhan is more than an exhibition—it is a celebration of resilience, creativity, and the timeless charm of Indian art. Art lovers and enthusiasts visiting Paridhi Art Gallery are guaranteed an inspiring experience.
