“SHIVOHUM 2.0: THE UNIFICATION” Art Exhibition by Renowned artist Dr. Amitabh Shrivastav At Jehangir Art Gallery, 161-B, M.G. Road, Kala Ghoda, Mumbai 400001, From: 2nd to 7th September 2026, Timing: 11am to 7pm +91 98990 97791
MUMBAI, INDIA — Biophilic Visual artist Dr. Amitabh Shrivastav will present his solo exhibition, “Shivohum 2.0: The Unification,” from 2 to 7 September 2026 at the Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai. Rooted in the artist’s ongoing exploration of coexistence, oneness in duality, and interconnectedness, the exhibition examines the convergence of seemingly contradictory forces through a powerful visual palette of red and black.
The exhibition brings together richly layered acrylic on canvas paintings and innovative Biophilic installation utilizing vetiver roots. Through color, gesture, and texture,
Dr. Shrivastav explores the philosophical union of Shiva and Shakti, represented through the contrasting yet interdependent energies of black and red. Rather than treating these forces as oppositional, the artist considers their entanglement fundamental to creation itself. Red evokes vitality, passion, and generative energy, while black embodies depth, mystery, and the unknown. Their convergence creates a visual tension that gradually transforms into harmony, suggesting a fluid understanding of identity, nature, and existence beyond fixed binaries.
In “Shivohum 2.0: The Unification,” Dr. Shrivastav draws profound inspiration from the intricate structures and ecological intelligence of vetiver roots (Chrysopogon zizanioides). Known for deep-reaching systems that hold soil, conserve groundwater, and participate in networks of natural exchange, vetiver serves as a metaphor for interconnected life. The organic complexity of these roots informs the artist’s visual vocabulary—where branching forms, rhythmic movements, and enveloping voids evoke bodily structures, circulation, memory, and the womb as a site of creation.
Dr. Shrivastav holds a degree in Fine Arts from Banaras Hindu University and a PhD in Art & Design from the Sorbonne in France. His multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, mixed-media installation, AI-robotics, and public art. By merging ecological, philosophical, and spiritual thought with contemporary artistic processes, his work deeply investigates the relationship between human existence and the natural world.
“Shivohum 2.0: The Unification” invites viewers to contemplate their own relationship with the body, nature, and the invisible forces that bind seemingly separate entities together. Ultimately, the exhibition proposes coexistence not as the erasure of difference, but as the realization of wholeness through deep interconnectedness.
