At a private viewing for media and a select gathering on Friday evening, Mehak took us around the exhibition and shared: “Inspired by being natural as our fundamental state, we present ‘Naturally’ that brings together the works of 13 remarkable contemporary artists from across India, each of whom taps into the elemental beauty of the natural world through their own distinctive lens.”
Giving details, she said “From the serene landscapes of Bhaskar Rao Botcha to the contemplative horizons of Vinod Sharma, and the vibrant, life-affirming forms of Ganapati Hegde and Pappu Bardhan, the art works invite us to slow down, to reflect, and to reconnect with what lies beyond the surface.
“Through the interplay of light, colour, and texture, artists like Sucharita Sengupta Suri also remind us of nature’s quiet, enduring power and its ability to evoke a deep emotional response.”
Further, the exhibition puts the spotlight on the transformative power of ceramics in the hands of Anuja, whose work brings earthy textures and organic forms to life.

Dolly Dhillon, Manish Chavda, Samir Mohanty, and Shuvankar Maitra each contribute their unique perspectives, merging the essence of nature with deeply personal expressions. Whether it’s through vivid landscapes, abstract interpretations, or intricate details, they invite us to see nature not just as a backdrop, but as a central narrative of life itself.
According to Mehak, the purpose behind ‘105arts’ gallery is to provide an accessible platform for artists – upcoming and established, as well as to bridge the gap between avid art collectors, first time buyers and art viewers. “Easy to exhibit, walk in, enjoy art and if something is compelling enough, to take it home,” she added.
