Artist Shrikant Arvind Kharat presents "Pigments of Antiquity," a solo exhibition showcasing a visual exploration of Indian heritage and architectural legacy. Running in August 2026 at Gallery FPH in Mumbai's Nariman Point, the show features works that capture the atmosphere and interplay of light and shadow across historic structures.

The collection includes depictions of ancient temples alongside scenes reflecting Mumbai's character, such as vintage-style pen illustrations of city landmarks and studies of maritime subjects. Kharat utilizes a variety of mediums to interpret these subjects, including watercolours, acrylics, and pen work on tinted paper. Key pieces in the exhibition include the "Mumbai Series" and individual works titled "Red Boat" and "Serenity."

A former graphic designer who transitioned to full-time painting, Kharat describes the exhibition as a visual journey celebrating structural mastery and craftsmanship. The artworks serve as a record of his travels and outdoor painting sessions, inviting visitors to rediscover the beauty found in both grand monuments and everyday architectural treasures.
