Stretch your imagination

From the simple to the complicated, this gallery is stacked with fine art by Choyals

Step into the gallery and you will find paintings in different shapes, shades and colours. The paintings by the Choyals from Udaipur focus on diverse issues from social concerns to the absolute modern.

A family of artists spanning three generations, the centerpiece of the show will be the Women Series and Dissolving Past, that portray PN Choyal's impressions of the exploitation of women and the cracks in society. His works depict the struggles of life and the carelessness of heritage in Rajasthan.


A diverse art: Artworks on display by the Choyals are a treat for sore eyes

Another set of paintings present is by Shail Choyal, who belongs to the second generation of artists. His paintings focus on the landscapes of Rajasthan. In the 70s and 80s, he based his style on Rajasthan miniatures.
His paintings use colours that are chromatic, full of contrast, trying to create a happy atmosphere.

The 3D paintings and the acrylic on fibreglass are his son Akash, whose works are seen in the three odd looking bodies of men with a holographic feeling. His idea of painting is to let himself free and then experience the thoughts later. His paintings depict the search for life combined with humour.

We like: The paintings with cows and a blue figure playing the flute, which are absolutely stunning for their simplicity. This is the result of him being influenced by the temple town of Sri Nathdwara.
