Location: The Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai
Michelle Poonawalla’s solo exhibition at Jehangir Art Gallery was a tribute to her late grandfather Jehangir Vazifdar and his signature oil painting technique that highlighted the uniqueness of the artist’s hand. The works on display included a series of animal portraits that depicted the power of the natural world – from the strength of a lion to the fragile beauty of the butterfly. The show ended with her signature butterfly installation, a perfect homage to a visionary artist ahead of his time, who believed that through his art, which was a pure reflection of his creative spirit, he was a truly free man.
