Hyderabad will witness a showcase of artworks by a few of India’s celebrated artists this weekend. On The Go, a travelling exhibition curated by Bengaluru’s Gallery G, can be on view from July 11 to 13 at Taj Krishna, Hyderabad. Art lovers can count on to view work and sculptures by VS Gaitonde, Surya Prakash, Manu Parekh and Ganapati Hegde, amongst a number of others.
Gitanjali Maini, founding father of Gallery G, says the curation for Hyderabad is completely different from On The Go that debuted in Kochi in May. “Each city has its own cultural pulse, so the curation shifts accordingly. Hyderabad called for a bolder blend of heritage and modernism.”
Factoring within the brief period and the intimate setting of the venue, she says the curation intends to concentrate on artworks which have seemingly by no means been showcased within the metropolis earlier than. “With a strong base of collectors and art lovers here, we wanted to present unseen pieces that would engage a discerning audience,” provides Gitanjali.
The featured artists embody fashionable masters comparable to MF Husain, Yusuf Arakkal, and S M Pandit, alongside Sangeeta Baid, Ganapati Hegde, Jai Khanna, Avinash Veeraraghavan, Bharti Prajapati and Srinivasulu. The exhibition can even highlight Tanjore and Mysore-style work, and sculptures from Kerala.
On The Go will showcase artworks predominantly drawn from Gallery G’s assortment, as well as to these sourced from personal collectors in Bengaluru.

Gitanjali’s thought was to construct visible narratives that may enchantment to each artwork lovers and curious newcomers, by “pairing iconic works with accessible, engaging stories. We want people to pause, connect, and walk away having felt something, whether or not they have studied art.”
Among the reveals, look out for a heritage imperial silver filigree furnishings set. “This is the first time a piece from a private collection in Bengaluru is being shown publicly,” reveals Gitanjali. “Space constraints allow us to exhibit only one part of the magnificent set, but it represents a larger trove of regal silverware sourced from palaces across India and beyond — including pieces once gifted to or associated with historic southern courts. Historian Manu S. Pillai, who has documented the collection, , offers insights into its provenance, symbolism, and regional affiliations. We chose to debut it in Hyderabad because the city has an audience that values legacy, craftsmanship and heritage.”
On The Go will journey to different Indian cities, together with Coimbatore and Raipur. Gallery G can also be working in the direction of an version in London.
On The Go can be on view from July 11 to 13, at Taj Krishna, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad.
