Take a slow stroll through Shared Lives, Distinct Visions at DAG (formerly known as Delhi Art Gallery), and a certain quiet settles in. Art is often thought of as a solitary craft. This exhibit turns the concept of an artist on its head. What happens when two creatives get together? Does one’s work affect their partner’s? Or do your styles start to differ even more? 

Take a walk at DAG, at The Taj Palace in Colaba, and you’ll know the answer. The exhibit, consisting of 13 couples including the likes of Madhvi and Manu Parekh, Mona and Amitava Rai, and many more, asks viewers to notice how lives lived in closeness can shape art without collapsing into sameness.
