Artist Sultana Hasan has unveiled a new solo exhibition titled "Rooted in Nature" in Bengaluru, featuring 29 works including mixed-media paintings on canvas and paper, as well as pen and ink drawings. The pieces are grouped into themes such as still life, forest and park walks, landscapes, rockscapes, and floral designs, inspired by her reflections on nature during the Covid-19 pandemic.
This exhibition matters because it highlights a growing trend of artists turning to nature and introspection in the post-pandemic era, offering viewers a meditative and celebratory perspective on the natural world. Hasan's work invites audiences to reconnect with the environment and consider humanity's relationship with the Earth, making it relevant to contemporary conversations about ecological awareness and mental well-being.
