The artistic landscape of New Delhi is set to be enriched with an exquisite exhibition titled “Reflections/ Refractions,” featuring evocative watercolours, prints, and installations by the talented Dolly Dhillon. Curated by the discerning eye of Georgina Maddox, the exhibition promises a journey into the depths of nature and femininity, rendered with a unique artistic flair.
The exhibition “Reflections/ Refractions” is going at the prestigious Shridharani Gallery, located within the cultural hub of Triveni Kala Sangam, at 205, Tansen Marg, New Delhi 110001. Art enthusiasts and connoisseurs are invited to immerse themselves in Dolly Dhillon’s captivating creations, which will be on display until May 31, 2024, from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm.
Dolly Dhillon’s artistic journey is deeply rooted in her personal experiences, particularly her observations of the creative Indian women of the 1970s and 80s, who often found themselves balancing familial responsibilities with their artistic aspirations.

In her latest body of work, Dolly Dhillon eloquently expresses her profound connection to nature, seamlessly blending Impressionistic and Cubistic techniques to craft her own unique interpretation of these styles. Her artistic process is guided by spontaneity, allowing her keen observations of seasonal changes in flora to manifest in vibrant and rejuvenating compositions. Through her art, Dolly draws a compelling parallel between nature and femininity, celebrating their inherent beauty and completeness.
“Reflections/ Refractions” promises to be a voice to Dolly Dhillon’s artistic vision and her ability to evoke emotion and introspection through her captivating creations.
