A young enthusiast who literally talks to the canvas. Self-taught artist who masters the language of water colours. A man of traditions blended with the contemporary who finds his inspirations in architecture. A local of Udaipur whose first love is the City of Lakes. And his recent collection of artworks too!
If you think, with this you’ve known him already, hold on! He is his work. And art is his attitude. He thrives on the architectural beauties of Rajasthan and finds his anchor in Udaipur, with all the marvelous forts and palaces, colurs and cultures of all realms and fascinating peculiarities in the nooks and corners of the city. He comments, “Big gates and narrow streets are a peculiarity of the lake city”, and has not refrained from capturing them on his canvas in interesting strokes.
A chance meeting with Shriji Arvind Singh Mewar set the ball rolling for Anurag. It was an instant decision by MMCF to promote a local artist of such caliber. This adds to the promotional initiatives that MMCF takes to keep alive the art and culture of Mewar. Anurag Mehta’s recent collection comprises of 11 water colour paintings of Udaipur covering the City Palace, Manek Chowk, Shiv Niwas Palace, Jagmandir, Shambhu Niwas (the royal residence), Toran Pole, Tripolia. These landmarks have been beautifully captured in different views and hues by the artist’s brushes and can be valued only when seen.
MMCF is happy to become a medium to present the works by Anurag Mehta before you. Please visit our website to admire his paintings and order online. This is a non-profit initiative from MMCF in sole admiration of good art.
