It is that time of the year again when Aakriti Art Gallery celebrates its second year of existence. Similar to last year, this year too the gallery is pleased to unveil the magical excitement; the multi-hued expressions and the collective energies of new generation artists.

This show brings together forty young artists from various corners of the country to display delightful medley of expressions. A show where imageries engages viewers to respond to new-age visual language. Gen Next II is an endeavour to encourage young artists to blossom unhindered. It's a platform to motivate them to reach out into the world in their own unique ways.

The exhibition displays a body of work selected after thorough assessment, taking into account diverse genre and visual aesthetics, while offering the viewer an enlightening experience.

As Henri Cartier-Bresson says, “The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take…” I hope this show enables you to catch the sparks of creativity among these young artists and makes it an absorbing experience.
