The exhibition placed Reba Hore and Somnath Hore in adjoining spaces, allowing their works to face one another without imposing narrative closure or reductive comparison. Reba Hore’s works, primarily drawings and works on paper, carry an immediacy that feels instinctive rather than resolved. Her figures often appear suspended, accompanied by animals or gathered in quiet proximity. ADVERTISEMENTThis sensibility finds its most affecting expression in her drawings of Somnath Hore in his last years. Even in his portraits of Reba Hore, structure holds firm, while his youthful self-portrait carries the gravity of endurance rather than likeness.
