Santosh More’s Solo Exhibition Echoes of Metaphor at Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai
Mumbai, India – Celebrated contemporary artist Santosh More is poised to unveil his latest solo exhibition, Echoes of Metaphor, at the esteemed Jehangir Art Gallery from 1st April to 6th April. This evocative showcase delves into the fluidity of visual consciousness, where fleeting memories, ethereal harmonies, and the profound vastness of nature coalesce, offering an immersive exploration of abstraction and introspection.
The book How to become a Disciplined artist, written by artist Santosh More, was released and his paintings exhibition was inaugurated on 1st April 2025 by Hon. Guests Brinda Miller, Dolly Thakore, Prof. Anil Naik, Ravi Mandlik, Dilip Ranade, Prakash Bal Joshi among others with the notable presence of eminent artist Prof. Prabhar Kolte, Vilas Shinde, Yashwant Deshmukh and others.
More’s artistic lexicon is deeply interwoven with his early captivation by the natural world and the cultural vibrancy of his homeland. His compositions manifest as dynamic, formless entities—an interplay of imperceptible forces that converge, dissolve, and reconstitute in silent dialogue. These amorphous structures, shifting and intermingling, resonate with an almost meditative cadence, giving birth to a visual language that transcends the constraints of representation.
In Echoes of Metaphor, More’s work resists definitive interpretation, instead beckoning viewers into an open-ended engagement with ambiguity. His paintings do not dictate meaning but rather invite contemplation, allowing each observer to unearth personal resonances within the interplay of form and space. The exhibition embodies an aesthetic philosophy of surrender and rediscovery—an odyssey into the liminal realms between the tangible and the intangible, between the seen and the unspoken.
With a career spanning over three decades, Santosh More has firmly established himself as a significant voice in contemporary abstraction. A BFA graduate from Mumbai University, his practice is distinguished by its seamless fusion of abstract expression and nuanced metaphorical depth. His works have been exhibited at some of the country’s most prestigious institutions, including Jehangir Art Gallery, CIMA Gallery, Gallery Art & Soul, Gallery Articulate, Gallery Guild, and the Bombay Art Society, earning him wide acclaim and numerous accolades.
