New Delhi: Gallery Silver Scapes to Host Anurag Anand's Solo Exhibition 'ECHOES'
Following its debut, the exhibition will move to Gallery Silver Scapes, Anand Niketan, Delhi, and will also be showcased online at gallerysilverscapes.com from 20th August to 15th September 2025.
The show will feature nearly 60 artworks in a variety of mediums—acrylic on canvas, watercolor, charcoal, and oil on paper—offering an evocative blend of abstraction and realism. Anand's works invite viewers to pause, reflect, and emotionally connect with the subtle moments of life: a fleeting glance, a hesitant gesture, or an unspoken dream.
A self-taught artist with a parallel career in the corporate sector, Anurag's artistic journey has been shaped by his passion for storytelling, an observant eye, and a desire for honest expression. "I don't paint for applause or validation," he shares. "I paint to understand myself—to process the quiet turbulence that often remains unnamed. My work is instinct guided by memory, not bound by stylistic conformity."
His paintings, often layered with urban and rural fragments, architectural nuances, and deeply personal emotions, resist categorization. They focus on emotional truth over technical perfection, embracing unresolved elements as a reflection of life's contradictions.
In ECHOES, standout works such as Eternal Banaras, Searching for the Divine – II, Autumn Breeze, Harmony, and Goa Sunshine anchor the exhibition's thematic journey. Each piece functions as an 'emotional landscape,' in the words of curator Vikram Mayor, who describes the show as 'an artistic archeology of memory' that bridges the personal and the universal.
"Anurag doesn't paint what he sees; he paints what he remembers feeling," says Mayor. "In doing so, he invites viewers to revisit their own internal landscapes—those places blurred by time but never forgotten. These works are lived experiences distilled into color, form, and texture."
Beyond his visual artistry, Anurag Anand is the bestselling author of fifteen books, including The Legend of Amrapali, To Hell and Back, and The Crimson Throne of Mahoba. His writing has been published widely, and he is a familiar voice in television debates and corporate forums, where he bridges literature, business, and art.
Whether through the written word or painted canvas, Anand's creative mission remains consistent: to inspire reflection, spark dialogue, and offer a deeper understanding of the human condition.
In an increasingly fast-paced world, ECHOES offers a rare invitation—to slow down, immerse oneself in memory and emotion, and find beauty in the quiet spaces we too often overlook.

How A Director's 1990 Snub Led To Bollywood's Most Expensive Musical Revenge In 1995
After Aashiqu i's runaway success, the duo's rise was meteoric. Nadeem Saifi, known for his sharp memory and even sharper business sense, was not one to forget a slight. As lyricist Sameer Anjaan once revealed, Nadeem even settled an old score with a top director by charging him double for a film's music. (News18 Hindi) The story dates back to 1990, when director Inder Kumar, then working on the musical romance Dil starring Aamir Khan and Madhuri Dixit, approached Nadeem-Shravan for its music. The duo shared several tunes with him, but Kumar eventually opted for Anand-Milind, another musical duo, instead. The decision worked as Dil became a blockbuster, and its music turned into chartbusters, but the rejection stayed with Nadeem Saifi. (News18 Hindi) In the following years, Nadeem-Shravan delivered one hit soundtrack after another, from Saajan to Deewana to Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke. By the mid-90s, they were the industry's most sought-after composers. Then, in 1995, fate brought Inder Kumar back to their doorstep. He was making Raja, starring Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Kapoor, and wanted the duo to compose its music. Inder Kumar reached out through lyricist Sameer Anjaan, who tried to mediate. But Nadeem Saifi's response was firm: 'I will work, but only for double the price. We charge Rs 8 lakh per film. From Inder Kumar, I will take Rs 16 lakh, not a rupee less. If he agrees, we can meet.' (News18 Hindi) When Sameer Anjaan relayed the message, Inder Kumar was taken aback and tried to negotiate, offering Rs 9 or Rs 10 lakh instead. Nadeem Saifi refused to budge. Eventually, Sameer Anjaan arranged a meeting between the two. Inder Kumar attempted to explain that their removal from Dil had not been personal, but Nadeem remained unmoved. 'Today, you have come to my door. I have not gone to yours. If you want us, you pay our price,' Nadeem Saifi told him. (News18 Hindi) In the end, Inder Kumar agreed to the Rs 16 lakh fee, an unprecedented figure at the time. The incident sent ripples through Bollywood, becoming one of the most talked-about examples of how Nadeem-Shravan commanded both respect and top billing in the industry. (News18 Hindi)
