Renowned Artist Prof. Sunil Tambe’s Solo Art Exhibition at Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai
A solo exhibition by renowned artist Prof. Sunil Tambe, Principal of S.S.V.P.S. School of Art, Dhule, has been organized at the prestigious Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, from April 1 to April 7, 2025. This exhibition is based on the theme “Saathidar: Timeless Spiritual Longing, the Modern Woman, and Devotion.”
The exhibition explores the idea that Krishna is not just the ultimate goal of our spiritual journey—he is also our eternal companion. When one is immersed in devotion, an unbreakable attraction towards him arises. The soul longs to see him, to be near him, and to merge into his divine embrace. However, Krishna is not easily perceived by our physical senses; he is entirely spiritual, while our minds remain entangled in worldly attachments. Only through genuine devotion can we transcend to a higher spiritual state and experience his divine presence.
This idea is beautifully expressed in the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 18, Verse 61):
“Ishvarah Sarvabhutanam Hriddeshe Arjuna Tishthati |
Bhramayan Sarvabhutani Yantrarudhani Mayaya ||”
“The Supreme Lord resides in the hearts of all beings, O Arjuna, and directs their wanderings according to their past karma, as if they were mounted on a machine made of material energy.”
Krishna is never far from us; he resides within our hearts, guiding us, waiting for us to turn towards him with devotion and surrender.
From Meera Bai to modern women, the eternal longing for Krishna has remained unchanged. The devotion that once illuminated Meera Bai’s heart still flows in the hearts of young women today. Krishna’s love is beyond the boundaries of time, and so is the longing for him.
Through his paintings, Prof. Tambe has beautifully expressed this eternal devotion. His artworks illustrate that just as Meera Bai was completely immersed in Krishna’s devotion, the modern woman too experiences the same spiritual longing today. The emotions in her eyes, the devotion that permeates her entire being—these paintings are not mere visual representations but profound spiritual experiences brought to life through art.
The Symbolism of the Peacock Feather
One of the most striking elements in Prof. Tambe’s paintings is the peacock feather. More than an ornamental object, it is a deep and mystical symbol of Krishna’s love. The heart-shaped patterns in its blue hues reflect a heart overflowing with devotion. Just as Meera once lost herself in Krishna’s love, just as Radha surrendered completely to him, the woman in Tambe’s paintings embodies the same timeless devotion.
Art and Devotion: A Divine Fusion
Both art and devotion are forms of divine expression. Just as a true devotee loses themselves in their devotion, a true artist becomes completely immersed in their creation.
Prof. Tambe’s paintings are not just technical masterpieces; they offer a profound spiritual experience. His art reminds us that Krishna is not just a deity to be worshipped; he is a mystical presence to be felt, an eternal companion on the path of devotion. As Meera Bai once sang:
“Aisi Lagi Lagan, Meera Ho Gayi Magan…”
(“Such was my love that I lost myself in Krishna…”)
Similarly, when someone truly loves Krishna with devotion, he is not just a destination—he becomes their eternal home.
This exhibition promises to be an enriching artistic and spiritual journey. Prof. Tambe presents a unique artistic vision in this year’s exhibition, bringing together tradition and contemporary expression in an extraordinary way. The paintings are created using color acrylic on canvas.
Prof. Sunil Tambe has previously held solo exhibitions at Jehangir Art Gallery and has showcased his work in Bangalore, Delhi, Pune, as well as internationally in Dubai and Singapore. His artworks are part of private collections across India and abroad.ends GNI
