Veteran artist Vishwa Sahni used the humble ballpoint pen as his instrument, artist Vishwa Sahni brings to the world a story that unfolds through hands and digits… love, faith, trust, compassion, togetherness and above it all, humanity…

Musical genius Lesle Lewis inaugurated veteran artist Vishwa Sahni’s Digits in the Digital Era art show at Artist Centre, Kala Ghoda. Classical singer Soma Ghosh, singer Mudasir Ali, Sirf Kash, Sirf Sona, writer-director Anusha Srinivasan Iyer and artists like Prithvi Soni, Madhusudan Kumar, Kiran Chopra, Sonalli Iyengar, Vishnu Sonawane, Gautam Mukherjee among others graced the event.

"To me, hands are the mirror of our soul," says Vishwa. "They have a language of their own. And no matter, how much we observe or speak; it is the humble hand that needs to do the deed."

Mother Teresa, Amritananda Mai, an infant held by by a hand that rocks him, the hand that gives shape to turn a lump of clay into a beautiful pot, a hand that spells hope, a hand that awaits with hope, the hands that rise to ring the temple bell... Vishwa Sahni's hands don't just speak -- they scream with their silence.


The unmisseable exhibition of the unique ballpoint works by the veteran artist is on at Artist’s Centre, Kala Ghoda from Oct 3-9.
