At Bespoke Art Gallery, we gathered in solemn tribute to the iconic sculptor Himmat Shah—a visionary whose textured bronzes and terracotta works have long whispered truths beyond words. The evening unfolded with the screening of Faces, an evocative experimental film crafted by Vinod Bhardwaj and Rohit Suri, followed by a recent interview in Hindi, where the artist himself spoke with quiet intensity. These visual narratives were more than mere homage—they were windows into the soul of a man who lived and breathed his art.
Himmat Shah’s presence filled the gallery, not through form, but through spirit. Family members and fellow artists stood shoulder to shoulder, wrapped in a shared reverence. As we listened to his final words—thoughts on the essence of being an artist, meditations on solitude, creation, and the shifting contours of India’s art landscape—we felt the gravity of a legacy still unfolding. His reflections were not just personal; they were offerings to the generations to come.
We extend heartfelt gratitude to all who joined this intimate evening of remembrance. It was more than a screening—it was a celebration of an extraordinary life, one that shaped the language of modern Indian sculpture with both fire and silence.
