Eye for art: Sonakshi Sinha, Luv and Kussh gear up for a first offline exhibition, Locus of Control, on April 9

The two-day show to be held in Worli, Mumbai features different forms of visual art, including paintings and photographs

Siblings Sonakshi Sinha and Luv and Kussh are gearing up for a first offline exhibition 'Locus of Control’ on April 9-10 through their online venture House of Creativity. To be held at BMW Infinity Cars at Worli in Mumbai, this by-invite-only exhibition, is curated by Abhinit Khanna, assisted by Anushka Bhatnagar. The exhibition features different forms of visual art such as paintings, photographs, film, textile, and new media by House of Creativity artists Ali Akbar Mehta, Arvind Sundar, Digbijayee Khatua, Govinda Sah Azad, Koshy Brahmatmaj, Kedar DK, Sarika Mehta, Shalaka Patil, Urvi Sethna and Tushar Waghela; Sonakshi, Luv and Kussh have also contributed their works to the show.

House of Creativity was launched in July 2021, amid the pandemic by the Sinha siblings. The intent was to provide a platform for budding artists to reach a wider audience and showcase their works. The online place allows art aficionados, from virtually anywhere, to procure contemporary artworks from homegrown Indian talents.

Actor Sonakshi Sinha enjoys bringing artworks to life on canvas. Thrilled about the venture’s inaugural exhibition, the self-taught artist is showcasing her new series in acrylics. According to Sonakshi, her works are about ‘colours and identity as well but not in an obvious manner.’ It is her perception of self-portraits, and is open to interpretation.

Photographer-actor Luv, displaying two of his photographs, says, “My photographs are bold and loud–they are about energy, colours, and positivity. Every photographer has a vision, and, for me, framing eye-catching objects is appealing.”

Kussh Sinha affirms, “Art is a way of giving creativity a physical form. Even if I take a digital photograph, how I set the frame or what subjects draw me in– that’s something personal, and may not resonate with others. Art signifies a memory that causes me to ponder.”
