Digital artworks exhibition at BHU showcases innovative themes
Varanasi: A special art exhibition was organised by the first-year MFA students at the Ahivasi Art Gallery, Faculty of Visual Arts, Banaras Hindu University on Thursday. In this exhibition, the students showcased their digital artworks in physical form, setting an inspiring example of innovative experimentation.
The exhibition not only highlighted diverse forms of art but also effectively addressed important themes such as social awareness, health, and cultural values.
Among the prominent displays, Divya Kumari's artworks on the theme 'Awareness for Eye Donation' drew attention to the serious issue of eye donation. Similarly, Anshu Chaubey's project 'Hygiene You' aimed at spreading awareness about personal hygiene and health.
Continuing this trend, Chanchal Utsavi and other students vividly portrayed various social and cultural subjects through their pictorial expressions.
The centrepiece of the exhibition was the series titled 'From Words to Images – Inspired by Mahamana', presented by Ayan Maurya. This special collection depicted the inspiring thoughts of Bharat Ratna Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya through visual art. Each painting illustrated one of his core values—such as character, education, honesty, hard work, service, and patriotism.
The series was developed under the supervision of Ashish Kumar Gupta, assistant professor, and professor Manish Arora, head of the Applied Arts Department.
