Synopsis: Gallery G’s travelling exhibition On the Go arrives in Hyderabad from 11–13 July at Taj Krishna, after a successful Kochi debut. Showcasing modern masters, regional artists, and traditional works, it celebrates India’s artistic legacy. With curated displays, collector sessions, and a talk by historian Manu S Pillai, the event blends heritage and modernity in a culturally rich setting.
After a successful debut in Kochi, the travelling exhibition On the Go by Gallery G is set to arrive in the City of Nawabs, Hyderabad, from 11 to 13 July, at the Taj Krishna. This is the second edition, following a successful debut in Kochi from 2 to 4 May 2025.
Galley G, known for it’s museum-quality curation, has been working for over two decades supporting both classical and contemporary Indian Art. With On the Go, the gallery aims to bring its vision directly to its patrons — city by city, story by story.
Gitanjali Maini, founder and managing director, Gallery G, in a press release said, “We’ve been incredibly fortunate to have collectors, friends, and supporters from across India. It’s time to go where the love has come from. On the Go is about breaking geographical boundaries — bringing our carefully curated exhibitions to audiences who’ve always been a part of our journey.”
With the initiative focused on key cultural cities across South India, the organisers said, Hyderabad — a city steeped in aristocratic legacy, architectural elegance, and intellectual depth — emerged as a natural choice.
“As one of India’s most distinguished princely states, its confluence of old-world sophistication and modern sensibilities makes it an ideal canvas for On the Go. Hyderabad represents everything we stand for — legacy, discernment, and a deep-seated appreciation for the arts,” adds Maini.
The Hyderabad edition presents a mix of voices from across India’s diverse art landscape — from Progressive Modernists to regional stalwarts and contemporary trailblazers.
Featured artists include: Ganapathy Hegde, Bharati Prajapati, Sangeeta Baid, Jai Khanna, Avinash Veeraraghavan, Leon, Bhiva Punekar, and Rabin Dutta (Bengal); alongside Telangana-based artists such as Srinivasulu, Surya Prakash, and Redappa Naidu .
The showcase also includes works by modern masters like MF Husain, Yusuf Arakkal, VS Gaitonde, and SM Pandit, as well as traditional Tanjore and Mysore paintings like Ram Pattabhisheka, Vishnavite icons, sculptures like the Bhagavati of Kerala, and rare silver-filigree furniture.
“Each artist in this show has been chosen for their ability to command attention — not just in a gallery setting but in the broader cultural imagination. This is a portrait of India’s evolving visual identity,” Maini emphasizes.
Beyond the curated displays, On the Go in Hyderabad features a series of intimate engagements for collectors and art lovers, including a special talk on art as History, a session with acclaimed historian and author Manu S Pillai for patrons.
Timings:
“Founded in 2003 in Bengaluru, Gallery G is a leading voice in Indian art, renowned for its refined curatorial approach, scholarly precision, and storytelling-driven exhibitions that traverse time periods, genres, and artistic movements. With On the Go, the gallery continues its mission to bring India’s visual heritage directly to its patrons,” the release further added.
