It has been a long journey for 57-year-old artist and animator, Dhimant Vyas. From the hamlets of Kutch to the vastness of the Indian film industry, Vyas has travelled a different path to arrive at the hallowed halls of Jehangir Art Gallery. The artist’s exhibit, Natura, which opens today and will be on show till January 1, 2023, captures the slow evolution of his art and its strong influences of folk tradition from around the world.
“I have always been drawn to folk art,” Vyas tells us. It was a part of his upbringing in Kutch. “You wander around and see the paintings on pots, earthenware, their costumes and tattoos. All of this left a deep impression on me,” he reveals.
