Mumbai: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s love for art has culminated in his first solo show titled ‘Motherhood – An Artistic Ode to Mother Teresa’. The show is with Sandeep and Gitanjali Maini Foundation; and AGP World, in association with Being Human – The Salman Khan Foundation, gallery g and Artiere Gallery.

Three paintings, including two new large-size works created by the artist, will be on display at Bengaluru’s gallery g from March 11 to 20, IANS reported.

The combined themes of hope, compassion and peace couldn’t have come at a better time.

Salman’s artworks will first go live online on Google Arts & Culture on March 4. Two of his paintings, titled ‘Still In Hope of Compassion’ and ‘Begging for Peace’ will be on display on the GAC digital platform. Here’s how Salman describes his new works that will be on display:

Still In Hope of Compassion: “There are wars. There is loss. There are pandemics to deal with. But there is also HOPE. And Mother Teresa tells us no matter what the odds, HOPE will always win.” Begging for Peace: “Peace is not just an absence of conflict. Peace is the humility of two folded hands. The acknowledgment of our humanity. And the purpose of our life.”

“In 2021, only one painting by Salman Khan was on display on GAC. This year we have added two more paintings by him, each being extremely arresting and unique,” Gitanjali Maini, Founder of Sandeep & Gitanjali Maini Foundation told IANS.

“Considering the nature of Salman Khan’s art and keeping in mind the present scenario of war and unrest in the world, this is one of the most appropriate times to show works thematically based around ‘Peace’.Salman primarily works with canvas, acrylic and oil paints, as well as charcoal and ink. Most of his paintings are large, done on canvas or board measuring five feet or more in height. He has also been known to use accessories like chains, wood chips and plastic waste and other material to embellish and enhance his paintings.

In this series of work on display, the artist has used paint directly from the tube to create Still in Hope of Compassion, the report added.
