Museum of Art and Photography unveils new exhibition of works by celebrated modernist Ram Kumar
The Bengaluru-based Museum of Art and Photography Saturday unveiled its latest exhibit: 'Shape of a Thought: Letters from Ram Kumar.' The display, which will be open to the public until October 26, focuses on the works of the celebrated abstract artist Ram Kumar, juxtaposing his art and writing. A fascinating aspect of the late Ram Kumar's work is that most of his pieces on display are untitled – in keeping with his perspective that his art should be interpreted by the viewer. He was also deeply influenced by the cities he visited, with some of his works being inspired by places like Varanasi. In the words of the curators of the exhibition, he 'viewed cities as people, and people as cities.' The exhibition also focuses on Ram Kumar as a writer – something he tried his hand at before he was ever known for his art. One can expect to see the odd quotation by Ram Kumar, or contemporaries who knew him like M F Husain, or even an excerpt from a conversation alongside a painting. In keeping with this, visitors can write down their impressions of the gallery and leave them behind. Also on display are several excerpts from letters by Ram Kumar that give readers an insight into his thought process. One reads, 'I want a direct confrontation with myself without any distraction. It suits me wonderful. I am able to see things in a deeper perspective.' Speaking to members of the press and others this Thursday, MAP founder Abhishek Poddar shared his memories of Ram Kumar, whom he befriended when he was a teenager in Delhi after finding out his home address. He recalled, 'I was 17 or 18 at the time… he called me up to his house and asked me why I wanted to see his work. It resulted in this amazing relationship.' The MAP has also opened up displays in collaboration with BIAL (Bangalore International Airport Limited) at Terminal 2 of the Kempegowda International Airport – with a digital display centre located in the domestic section, and an exhibition of Padma Shri-winning artist Bhuri Bai's work in the international section. The digital display centre allows access to various digital experiences such as puzzles based on art and virtual displays, including past exhibitions displayed at the Museum of Art and Photography. Harish Vasudevan, Director, MAP, said, 'The point is not for people to come (physically) to the museum – the point is for people to understand the value of art in your life. We want to take art to people in the media they are more comfortable with.' A particular highlight is the autobiographical series of artworks by artist Bhuri Bai, who belongs to the Bhil community of Madhya Pradesh. This is a physical display at the international section of T2, and will be exhibited for an extended period of several months or longer before being rotated out. Bhuri Bai's art on display reflects her own experiences and those of her community, while also exhibiting the evolution of her own artistic style – which started out with makeshift pigments using earth, soot and turmeric. One sees art closer to the traditional Pithora style of the Bhil community – which was historically male-dominated – and later changes as Bhuri Bai developed her own distinctive art. Natural motifs have progressed to modern trappings such as aeroplanes and cars – through the prism of her distinct style.

‘He was my Terry': Hulk Hogan's wife Sky Daily pens heartwrenching tribute after wrestling icon's sudden death at 71
Sky Daily, wife of the late wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, shared a heartbreaking message just a day after the WWE legend passed away at the age of 71. Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest at his Florida home on July 24, according to TMZ. Paramedics were called to the scene, but the wrestling world lost one of its most enduring figures. Daily, a yoga instructor who married Hogan in 2023, took to Instagram on Friday, July 25, to express her grief. In an emotional tribute, she revealed that while Hogan had been 'dealing with some health issues,' she never expected to lose him so soon. 'I had so much faith in his strength,' she wrote, adding that she truly believed they 'still had more time.' Calling the loss 'sudden and impossible to process,' Daily opened up about the man behind the fame. 'To the world, he was a legend… but to me, he was my Terry. The man I loved. My partner. My heart.' Alongside a photo of the couple, she remembered how Hogan pushed through his physical pain to remain present for his fans. 'He did everything he could to show up, sign autographs, take photos, and connect with the people who supported him through it all. You meant everything to him,' she wrote. A post shared by Sky Daily Hogan (@ Daily also spoke of Hogan's deep Christian faith, finding comfort in the belief that his soul is now at peace. 'He was a believer in Christ… I take comfort knowing his soul is at peace and he's been welcomed home,' she said. She ended her post with a heartfelt request for fans to keep the Hogan family in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. This was Hogan's third marriage. He was first married to Linda Claridge from 1983 to 2009, with whom he had two children, Brooke and Nick. He later married Jennifer McDaniel in 2010; they eventually separated after more than ten years together. Netizens reacted to the post in the comments. A fan wrote, 'This is such a perfect photo. God bless the greatest heavyweight champion of all time!' Another user commented, 'Hulk did for WWE what Jordan did for the NBA, he made it a global phenomenon. We are never ready to let our hero's go, but now he gets to hang with the boys in peace and pain free. RIP to the true.' A third person wrote, 'I can't tell you how happy it made me to see how happy you made him. He always told me that you brought him back to Center kept him straight. I meant the world to him. The way he would talk about your kids, the joy they brought him, the energy and excitement was something that always had a happy pep to his voice.'
