SAMARPAN | AMRITA GHOSH’S SOLO EXHIBITION | 22ND AUGUST – 22ND SEPTEMBER 2025 | NEW DELHI
“Samarpan” – Amrita Ghosh’s Solo Exhibition at Dhoomimal Gallery, New Delhi
Artrise Art, New Delhi, in collaboration with the iconic Dhoomimal Gallery, presents Samarpan—a solo exhibition by the evocative artist Amrita Ghosh, curated with finesse by Jyoti A Kathpalia.
From 22nd August to 22nd September 2025, the gallery at 8-A (A Block), Connaught Place, New Delhi, is on show daily from 11 AM to 7 PM, inviting viewers into a contemplative journey of devotion, surrender and artistic grace.
Powered by Dhoomimal Gallery’s enduring legacy, Samarpan promises a soulful confluence of tradition and contemporary expression, celebrating the quiet power of introspection through Ghosh’s nuanced visual language.
“My days will pass floating in the fragrance of the aquatic kalmi plant; I’ll come lovingly again to Bengal’s rivers, fields, farmlands…” says renowned artist Amrita Ghosh.
Home, for many, is not a place but a feeling etched in the rivers and fields of childhood. These memory-scapes drift like fragrance on the wind, gently summoning the soul toward the tender terrains where the heart first learned to belong. The artist evokes these splendid childhood days, reminding us that the truest sense of home often lives in the landscapes of early wonder.
Samarpan: A Visual Ode to Bengal’s Soul
In Samarpan: The Art of Remembrance, Amrita Ghosh conjures a lyrical homage to Bengal, where memory and longing entwine in brushstroke and verse. Inspired by Jibanananda Das’s Rupasi Bangla, her artworks echo the poet’s sensory landscapes—fields, rivers, and quiet corners of home—through a tapestry of text and image.
“As the artist tries to find her way through the mazes of a cosmopolitan city, her creativity responds to the verdant allure of the remembrances of her past, of her roots and her hometown in Bengal,” says curator Jyoti A Kathpalia.
Amrita Ghosh rekindles the timeless bond between poetry and painting, where text breathes life into image and image deepens the resonance of verse. In her latest series, fragments of poems, alphabet phrases, and natural motifs coalesce on Nepali scrolls, transforming Bengal’s rural scapes into emotional terrains of longing and remembrance. Her narrative artistry invites viewers into layered worlds—where memory flows through ink and solace blooms in the quiet interplay of symbol and sentiment.
Shiuli Scented Longing
In Amrita Ghosh’s visual world, everyday elements—like the tender Shiuli flower—become vessels of memory and emotion, echoing the poetic alchemy of Jibanananda Das. Her paintings Samarpan and Homecoming breathe with the fragrance of autumn mornings and the quiet pull of Durga Puja, where the female figure and the land entwine in a dreamlike embrace. Through these delicate motifs, Amrita evokes a homeland not just remembered, but deeply felt, curator briefs through a press release.
Gauze as Memory’s Canvas
Returning to her beloved medium of mixed media on gauze, Amrita Ghosh crafts textured landscapes where memory breathes and longing lingers. Newspaper cuttings, collages, embroidery, tea liquor, acrylic, ink and fragments of text flow freely across the open weave, creating a mist-like visuality that echoes the haze of remembrance. In this delicate fabric—once used to heal wounds—Amrita finds a surface that absorbs emotion, allowing forms to emerge organically, like thoughts drifting through time.
“The ink while applied on gauze, the thin fabric with a loose open weave allows it to flow softly yet spontaneously and freely, mixing and interacting with other different shades, every time giving the pictorial space a new and unique expression and dimension and make the entire process playful and lively.” — Amrita Ghosh
