Politicians and city socialites attend art event

An alluring image of a laughing Sharad Pawar catches your attention as you enter the Nehru Centre Art Gallery… and then you begin to notice all the myriad moods of the politician brilliantly portrayed on canvas by artist Bharat Singh.
In his 8th solo show on portraits of well-known personalities, Bharat seeks to explore the various moods of the politician.
The event has people walking around and admiring the art that showcased multiple moods of one person over a period of a few decades.
Sharad Pawar, Sanjay Raut, Sachin Ahir, Sunil Tatkare, Krishna Tamang and others graced artist Bharat’s show, ‘Satam Jivam Sharad’ in the city.
Pawar said, “In fact, this is the first time I saw something about me. I have to congratulate this young artist (Bharat Singh).In my assessment, he has a very bright future. I hope his paintings will be liked by all those who understand art.” When asked which of the works would be his favourite, the veteran politician replied with zeal, “difficult to choose!”
Sanjay Raut added, “Every show of Bharat Singh feels like a homely affair. I have been impressed by his paintings of Balasaheb Thackeray and Harivansh Rai Bachchan. When Bharat exhibits his artworks, even the viewers remain stunned.”
“I’ve been closely watching Bharatji since a few months. The expressions he has captured on canvas are of importance because the artist has to carefully choose them and not everyone may like it. Bharatji has done a very good job and my hearty congratulations to him,” said Sachin Ahir.
Bharat, who uses oil paint on canvas to display multiple hues of emotions, said, "This is my 8th exhibition on portraits of personalities and this time, I have chosen Sharad Pawar Saheb as my subject. My portraits speak of what I’ve seen in him.”
