It isn’t just through the drawings of oceans and mountains, valleys and lakes that he achieves this ethereal quality. A video installation at the gallery captures the artist capturing his subject in situ, presumably high up in the Liddar Valley that looks onto Pahalgam in Kashmir, where Chopra spent summers in his formative years. A lot of his pieces reflect his now home, Goa, and its tropical, languid quality. Stark rock faces and glassy water bodies, green fields and grazing animals, spectacular sunsets and groves of trees – the collection’s subject matter is timeless and the mood is reflective and meditative, with the occasional epiphany bursting out of a frame.
