Leslee Lewis and Rupali Suri Inaugurate Vaman Pai’s Nature Scapes at Suan Artland

SUAN ARTLAND GALLERY PRESENTED NATURE SCAPES: a solo exhibition of recent works by artist Vaman Pai, with a preview at its Kala Ghoda gallery space in Mumbai. The exhibition was inaugurated by legendary singer–performer–composer Leslee Lewis and actress, supermodel, and Miss India Tourism runner-up Rupali Suri, who added grace and artistic spirit to the opening evening. Curated by Sunil Chauhan, the exhibition showcased Pai’s contemplative engagement with nature, inspired largely by India’s coastal landscapes. Through rich textures, subtle tonal shifts, and semi-abstract forms, Nature Scapes captured the changing moods of land, sea, rocks, and waves.

Based in Udupi and mentored by the late G. S. Shenoy, Vaman Pai evolved a distinctive and largely self-taught visual language. His works moved beyond literal representation, offering meditative spaces that evoked silence, rhythm, and quiet reflection.

Marked by restrained colour palettes and layered surfaces, Pai’s paintings reflected the essence of monsoon skies, coastal terrains, and flowing waters. Nature Scapes emerged as a visual meditation on nature’s timeless presence and its subtle dialogue with the human spirit.
