“Ode to the Masters” is a celebration of India’s modern artistic genius, thoughtfully unveiled with an auspicious start and leading us into the luminous festival of Diwali. This exhibition brings together a rare and distinguished ensemble of works: the subtle elegance of Gaitonde’s watercolors on paper, two precious Raza oil canvases that capture his meditative abstraction, the minimalist and ethereal line drawings and watercolors of Nasreen Mohamedi, and two compelling Souza pieces that anchor the collection in bold expression.
This thoughtfully curated selection is more than a display of individual brilliance; it is a dialogue between the Masters, each piece speaking to the other in a symphony of styles and mediums. Gaitonde’s serene, meditative layers complement Raza’s dynamic color fields, while Mohamedi’s minimalist lines offer a tranquil counterpoint to Souza’s bold figuration.
In curating “Ode to the Masters,” we honor not only the legacy of these iconic artists but also the spirit of the season—a time of light, reflection, and new beginnings. We invite art patrons, collectors, and connoisseurs to immerse themselves in this unique journey through India’s modern artistic heritage, brought together under one roof for a truly luminous celebration.
The Cosmic Heart Gallery
Cosmic Heart Gallery
A Legacy of Art, Vision, and Impact
A sanctuary of creativity in South Bombay, Cosmic Heart Gallery is a space where art transcends time, culture, and geography. Founded by Jalpa H Vithalani in 2012, the gallery has curated over 300 transformative exhibitions, fostering artistic excellence and global cultural exchange.
Among its landmark initiatives is ‘Eye of the Tiger’, a powerful confluence of art and conservation. Conceptualized by Jalpa H Vithalani, this project broughttogether 200 rural artists from Sawai Madhopur to create 100 breathtaking works, advocating for tiger conservation and sustainable livelihoods. The exhibition has gained national recognition, travelling to The Indian Museum, Kolkata, for its historic 210-year celebration, where Jalpa’s own evocative tiger paintings were showcased and marked her debut as an artist alongside these masterpieces.
Beyond exhibitions, Cosmic Heart Gallery is a movement, collaborating with institutions like NGMA Kolkata, NGMA Delhi, J.J. School of Art, Iran Culture House, and the Consulate General of Argentina, and representing India at prestigious forums such as the United Nations and Art Bahrain Across Borders under the patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka Bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa. As a member of the special Task Force of Arts for BPW International, Jalpa continues to foster peace and intercultural understanding across 100 countries.
Cosmic Heart Gallery was honoured to be part of INNER REALMS — an evocative exhibition marking International Day of Yoga at the iconic National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi, presenting its exquisite body of work alongside a distinguished lineup of contemporary masters at NGMA Delhi.
Each exhibition is a meticulously curated experience, breaking barriers of language and geography to foster a universal dialogue through art. With an unwavering belief in art as a force of transformation, the gallery continues to shape narratives, elevate spaces, and inspire generations.
Here, art is not just displayed—it is experienced, celebrated, and woven into the fabric of history.
