Udaan, a group exhibition curated by Smita Art and presented with Rotary Calcutta Mega City, is currently on display at Lalit Kala Akademi in Kolkata. The show brings together works by veteran modern masters such as Jamini Roy, M. F. Husain, and Ram Kumar alongside contemporary artists, sculptors, and folk art traditions including Kalighat, Madhubani, and Gond art. The exhibition runs daily from 2 pm to 8 pm until June 25, 2026.
This exhibition matters because it creates a rare dialogue between India's celebrated modernists and emerging contemporary voices, highlighting the continuity and evolution of Indian art. By featuring diverse mediums—paintings, sculptures, and folk traditions—Udaan offers audiences a comprehensive view of the country's artistic heritage and current creative landscape, fostering appreciation for both established and new talent.
