According to a enactment from the Centre, though the 2 artists enactment with antithetic media, they bash uncover galore affinities. Madhuri’s photographs and Sameer’s woody cuts gully their inspiration from an imaginativeness shaped by images of nature, reinterpreted done the lens of emotion and interior experience.
