If you aren't then we suggest you give these art destinations a quick visit to see some of the city's finest displays all through the coming week

Art is often directed at various subjects and reflects the mood and backgrounds of the artist, who created it.

More importantly, however, art needs to be pleasing to the eye and provoke thought in the viewer. If a piece of art can narrate its own story, then an artist has done his job well, even if the narratives are subjective to each different viewer.

We give you a low-down on three exhibitions this week that will showcase everything from the normal to the bizarre -- what connects them, however, are the strong portrayals of life experiences, glimpses from the world around and the emotion of love.

The form and the formless

From frail black and white figures to soft yet complex paintings from artists like Partha Pratim Deb, CF John and Santanu Maity, this exhibition, curated by Soma Das, reveals the eccentrics of life with diverse manners. The use of colour is admirable, in Santanu Maity's Crocodile II, bursting with bright colours that would usually clash among themselves but don't. The collision of colours enhances the story telling power of the piece of art. The abstract art featured embraces a more classical style and distinguishes the artists work from contemporary abstract art. Proceeding Space by Vaishali V Dalvi is a simple-yet-brilliant oil on canvas, the mixing of colours with strong brushstrokes revealing the talent of this young artist.
