Aalekh Arts & Culture Foundation presented Shades of Grey, a contemporary art exhibition featuring works by artist Divyaman Singh, from 26th to 28th March 2026 at Sabha Gallery, Bangalore. The exhibition is being held during the month of International Women’s Day, celebrating the layered emotional landscapes of womanhood through abstract contemporary landscapes.
The exhibition was inaugurated by Santosh Lad as a Chief Guest.
Shades of Grey brings together a series of evocative oil-on-canvas works where the artist explores the nuanced emotional spectrum of women through atmospheric landscapes rendered in tonal greys, textures, and shifting horizons. Rather than depicting the female form, the works create contemplative spaces where emotion is suggested through movement, depth, and abstraction.
The exhibition also carries a social purpose. It is being organised as a fundraiser, with a portion of the proceeds supporting vocational training programmes for women, enabling skill development and livelihood opportunities through initiatives supported by Aalekh Arts & Culture Foundation.
Dr. Rennie Joyy, Founder of Aalekh Arts & Culture Foundation, said:
“At Aalekh, we believe that art must not only inspire reflection but also create meaningful social impact. ‘Shades of Grey’ explores the many emotional landscapes of womanhood — those spaces that exist beyond binaries. Presenting this series during Women’s Day month, while raising support for women’s vocational empowerment, reflects the foundation’s commitment to both cultural dialogue and community transformation.”
Artist Divyaman Singh added:
“In this series, the landscape becomes an emotional terrain. The greys are not an absence of colour but a spectrum of feeling — restraint, memory, resilience, and quiet strength. Through these abstract horizons, I attempt to capture the inner tides that often shape a woman’s experience but remain unseen.”
The exhibition also marks Aalekh Arts & Culture Foundation’s cultural engagement with Bangalore, bringing together art, dialogue, and social purpose through a thoughtfully curated presentation.
