Hyderabad to witness Gallery G’s travelling exhibition, On The Go, featuring master artists VS Gaitonde, Surya Prakash, Yusuf Arakkal, and others

Hyderabad will witness a showcase of artworks by some of India’s celebrated artists this weekend. On The Go, a travelling exhibition curated by Bengaluru’s Gallery G, will be on view from July 11 to 13 at Taj Krishna, Hyderabad. Art lovers can expect to view paintings and sculptures by VS Gaitonde, Surya Prakash, Manu Parekh and Ganapati Hegde, among several others.

Gitanjali Maini, founder of Gallery G, says the curation for Hyderabad is 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 in the short duration and the intimate setting of the venue, she says the curation intends to focus on artworks that have likely never been showcased in the city before. “With a strong base of collectors and art lovers here, we wanted to present unseen pieces that would engage a discerning audience,” adds Gitanjali.

The featured artists include modern masters such as MF Husain, Yusuf Arakkal, and S M Pandit, alongside Sangeeta Baid, Ganapati Hegde, Jai Khanna, Avinash Veeraraghavan, Bharti Prajapati and Srinivasulu. The exhibition will also spotlight Tanjore and Mysore-style paintings, and sculptures from Kerala.

On The Go will showcase artworks predominantly drawn from Gallery G’s collection, in addition to those sourced from private collectors in Bengaluru.

Gitanjali’s idea was to build visual narratives that will appeal to both art 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 exhibits, look out for a heritage imperial silver filigree furniture 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 travel to other Indian cities, including Coimbatore and Raipur. Gallery G is also working towards an edition in London.

On The Go will be on view from July 11 to 13, at Taj Krishna, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad.
