Of mythology & Harry Potter
Artist Maneesha Doshi displayed her artworks, inspired by mythological characters, recently.THE MYTHS OF ART:
No, Maneesha Doshi wasn't on a spree busting myths in art. She held an exhibition of her works in the city recently, and the paintings were inspired by mythological characters and Maneesha's love for travelling.

Dressed in a green salwar kameez, the artist said, "For me, painting is like breathing. I'm simply trying to breath in different rhythms," about her shift from acrylic to watercolours. And gallery owner Payal Kapoor obviously heard those rhythms, because she went around the works gazing intently at each of them. And after she had sent them all, she said, "The traces of the Baroda school are evident in her work. The colours are interesting." Sounds rather non-committal , don't you think?

Aman Nath and Rekha Purie were deep in conversation in front of one of Maneesha's
canvases, discussing the finer nuances of the work. Also present was art histo-When we asked Maneesha what was up next, she said, "I don't know." But just then, a little girl clutching a Harry Potter book walked past her, and Maneesha's eyes lit up. "Maybe Harry Potter... After all, it is also a world of beautiful fantasies," she said. Harry Potter in art? Someone should tell JKR. rian Jasleen Dhamija, who seemed pleased with Maneesha's work.
