Husain’s obsession with Madhuri Dixit might be a thing of the past with Gajagamini pregnant for the second time, but somebody in Calcutta is sure following in his footsteps. No it’s not Mrs Nene but the reigning queen of Bollywood, Aishwarya Rai who’s “inspired” painter Arunabho Karmakar to do a whole series on her.
His paintings, part of an exhibition at Idiyas art gallery, vie for attention along with 200 canvases put up by 32 other artists.
“I organise an exhibition every two months, the sole purpose of which is to provide a platform for struggling artists,” said gallery owner Diya Jaiswal.
The artists in turn lent a free hand to their imagination, painting untitled works in a riot of colours to match the theme of the exhibition called Rainbow.
The price tag reads at anywhere between Rs 2,000 and Rs 50,000.
