Artist couple Anup Kumar Chand and Shubhra Chand have opened a joint exhibition titled 'Confluence' to celebrate 25 years of their artistic careers and 25 years of their marriage. The show presents their contrasting yet complementary styles: Anup’s vibrant figurative works, often featuring tigers in dreamlike settings, and Shubhra’s abstract pieces inspired by spirituality, memory, and traditional wall paintings, incorporating earthy tones and gold foil. The exhibition is on view until June 7.
The exhibition matters because it highlights how two artists can maintain distinct creative voices while sharing a life and practice, offering a rare dual perspective on figuration and abstraction. It also underscores the role of personal milestones—both marital and professional—in shaping artistic evolution, and brings attention to regional Indian art narratives that often go underrecognized in global art discourse.
