Maya Burman, ‘Farandole’, watercolour, ink and pencil colour on paper 

An exuberant set of works

Visit Art Alive’s Games Of Life exhibit featuring Maya Burman’s recent work, filled with detailed patterns reminiscent of art nouveau traditions. “Maya Burman’s paintings evolve from a buoyant interplay of architecture and landscape. Gardens trail into interiors and brickwork arches frame forests, even as a parade of children animates the pictorial space with intimations of dance and music,” writes curator Ranjit Hoskote. The show is part of the Delhi-based gallery’s partnership with The Quorum Mumbai—a members-only club—as it attempts to expand its presence in Mumbai. The Quorum Mumbai, Lower Parel, Mumbai, till 31 October, 8-1 am
