Portfolio > Myths to mundane

Through a series of figurative landscape paintings and terracotta relief sculptures, the exhibition reimagines India’s rich cultural history, from mythological texts, regional folklore to personal narratives and contemporary realities.
Drawing inspiration from classical temple reliefs and epic literature, Ghatak constructs a visual dialogue that blurs the boundaries between past and present. The works in this exhibition reflect how mythology is not merely a historical artifact but a living force that continues to shape identities, traditions, and the shifting nature of belonging. Figures emerge from layered landscapes-both real and imagined-imbued with personal and collective histories that speak to the fragmentation and resilience of hybrid identities.
