The Weight of Love: Varad Bang

Pristine Contemporary presents The Weight of Love, a solo exhibition of works by Varad Bang. Inspired by the internationally acclaimed film-director Wong Kar Wai’s movie, In the Mood for Love, the exhibition explores themes of love, longing, and time through the evocative canvases of Varad Bang, an expressive and introspective Indian artist whose work bridges classical techniques with contemporary narratives. Translating key scenes from the film into atmospheric paintings, Bang captures its signature slow, languid motion and deep emotional restraint.
