Musical genius Lesle
Lewis inaugurated veteran artist Vishwa Sahni’s Digits in the
Digital Era art show at Artist Centre, Kala Ghoda. Classical singer Soma Ghosh,
singer Mudasir Ali, Sirf Kash, Sirf Sona, writer-director Anusha
Srinivasan Iyer and artists like Prithvi Soni, Madhusudan Kumar,
Kiran Chopra, Sonalli Iyengar, Vishnu Sonawane, Gautam Mukherjee among others

"To me, hands are
the mirror of our soul," says Vishwa. "They have a language of
their own. And no matter, how much we observe or speak; it is the humble hand
that needs to do the deed."
Mother Teresa,
Amritananda Mai, an infant held by by a hand that rocks him, the hand that
gives shape to turn a lump of clay into a beautiful pot, a hand that spells
hope, a hand that awaits with hope, the hands that rise to ring the temple
bell... Vishwa Sahni's hands don't just speak -- they scream with
their silence.
The unmisseable
exhibition of the unique ballpoint works by the veteran artist is on at
Artist’s Centre, Kala Ghoda from Oct 3-9.
