Kaagitam Kalam Sera

A Solo Exhibition by Gouri Vemula
Hosted by Creativity Art Gallery

“Art… a prism which echoes vibrant moods, leaves behind a special significance to the core… What else but a piece of art can strike the right chord within the seeker’s soul?”

With great pride and anticipation, Creativity Art Gallery presents Kaagitam Kalam Sera, a solo exhibition by celebrated artist Gouri Vemula. In this latest body of work, Vemula invites the viewer on a transcendent journey through imagined mythic landscapes — an emotional and visual terrain where memory, mythology, and fantasy merge through masterful strokes of pen, ink, and printmaking.

The title, Kaagitam Kalam Sera — loosely translated from Telugu as The Union of Paper and Pen — is both poetic and profound. It encapsulates the essence of Gouri Vemula’s practice: the silent but powerful intimacy between medium and message, material and imagination. Her work embodies this union through an intricate play of lines and textures, born from drypoint etching, pen-and-ink drawing, and layered visual storytelling.

In this exhibition, Vemula conjures a dream world populated by deities, animals, hybrid creatures, celestial motifs, and folkloric fragments. Her compositions are meditative yet charged with symbolic density — each frame a surreal theatre where the divine and the earthly intermingle, where past traditions speak fluently in the present. The works are at once familiar and fantastical, rooted in Indian iconographic heritage yet breaking into a contemporary visual idiom that is distinctly her own.

Vemula’s artistic vocabulary is defined by technical finesse and deep cultural resonance. Her work draws inspiration from India’s mythological and folk traditions, yet always filters them through her personal lens. Through etched lines and inked silhouettes, she brings forward forgotten stories and symbolic terrains, allowing her audience to wander into spaces that hover between memory and imagination.

Kaagitam Kalam Sera aligns with the gallery’s ongoing vision to present art that evokes, questions, and transforms — offering the audience not just visuals, but experiences.

Gouri Vemula’s Kaagitam Kalam Sera is more than an exhibition; it is an invitation to pause, reflect, and immerse in the symbolic magic of her world. As ink flows on paper, and images rise from its depths, the viewer is drawn into a lyrical realm — where the seen meets the unseen, and the real dances with the imagined.

Creativity Art Gallery welcomes you to witness this rare tapestry of emotion, myth, and material mastery.
