Cascade of Shades: A Creative Journey

Mumbai, April 30, 2025 –From April 21 to 27, 2025, the Jehangir Art Gallery in Kala Ghoda showcased "Cascade of Shades," a solo exhibition by Ragini Sinkar. This captivating event invited visitors to immerse themselves in a world where colors, tones, and textures blend seamlessly, offering a unique journey through imagination and perception.

The exhibition was inaugurated on April 21 at 3:00 PM by Hon. Pravin Darekar, Member of the Maharashtra Legislative Council, and Achyut Palav, master calligrapher and designer, who was recently awarded the Padmashree in 2025. Their presence added a touch of prestige to the event, highlighting the significance of Ragini Sinkar's work.

Ragini Sinkar's paintings are known for their dynamic quality, evolving with the viewer's perception over time. Each canvas in "Cascade of Shades" is built with translucent layers, subtle contrasts, and a keen eye for harmony. Her abstract compositions invite viewers to pause, reflect, and engage in a dialogue between color and soul.

Each canvas presents a unique encounter with intense passion frozen in time and space. At times, we gaze at molten lava dripping down a defiantly jubilant surreal setting. At times, we are gazing at a fiery earth either dancing in spark of life or burning in hell fire, through a wall of frosted glass.

A graduate of Sir J.J. School of Art, Ragini Sinkar completed her A.T.D. in 1998 with first rank, followed by a B.F.A. in Drawing and Painting in 2002. Her work has been showcased in prestigious galleries across Mumbai, including Jehangir, Nehru Centre, and Cymroza Art Gallery. Ragini's achievements span awards for design, object drawing, portraiture, sketching, and collage, and she has actively contributed to the Indian art scene through various platforms.

Attendees of "Cascade of Shades" were treated to a visual feast, with each painting offering a quiet, unfolding dialogue between color and soul. The exhibition successfully bridged the gap between imagination and perception, making it a memorable event for all who visited.
