The rhythms of rural India
- Padma Jayaraj
We are familiar with different Indias: technological India, heritage
sites, or physical features highlighting its natural wonders: its water
world, its mountain terrains, deserts and coastal plains. The sights are
many. The diversity of its ethnicity also is remarkable. There is a
need to carry this reality which is the roots and strength of India in
our consciousness as we march on, in time. Suresh Khot, a product of
J.J. School of Art, is projecting a charming face of India in all its
simplicity and beauty. He is a freelance painter who has done solo-shows
in India’s metros.
SURANGI, his painting exhibition (October 18 to 24, 2016) at Jahangir
Art Gallery, Mumbai, is a testimony to his mission: paying tribute to a
land still antique in its rural rhythms.
