Amitabh Ashesh’s ‘Yufism’ – A New Compositional Platform for Painting presented at the Jehangir Art Gallery
Acclaimed artist Amitabh Ashesh’s innovative art exhibition titled “Yun Bhi” is being held at the Jehangir Art Gallery, Kala Ghoda. The exhibition will be open to the public from June 10 to June 16, 2025.
In this exhibition, Amitabh presents prototypical art based on conceptual tenets of Yufism. A former student of the art department at Stanford University, Amitabh has trained under modern masters, including Frank Lobdell of the Bay Area Figurative Movement.
‘Yufism’ reimagines the visible, the invisible, and the affective, imbuing them with new characteristics. For example, raindrops become strings of beads, ocean waves resemble skirts, and windows transform into structures of light. Developed over a decade, Amitabh’s unique experiments seek to introduce a new visual logic and a conceptual tool set of wide applicability.
Amitabh’s paintings carry the imprint of his personal experiences—swimming, tennis, gardening, and friendships across different cultures. Each painting has a titular poem inviting access through a literary lens. His subjects include scenes such as the bustling Brigade Road of Bengaluru, plants in rain and feeding of street dogs.
According to senior artist Vanidas Mangathil, “Yufism is a completely new, innovative, and inspiring visual language. It presents a fresh vision that deserves to be understood and explored.”
