UNTOLD STORIES — Exploring the Mysterious World Between Books and Their Readers

Mumbai, September 2026:  Artist Rajesh Kedare presents UNTOLD STORIES, a solo exhibition of paintings exploring the fascinating relationship between books, readers and the unseen stories that unfold between them. The exhibition will be held from 7th to 13th September 2026 at Jehangir Art Gallery, Kala Ghoda, Mumbai.

For Kedare, among the most beautiful sights in the world are books and people absorbed in reading them. A reader may be physically present before us, yet the mind is somewhere else wandering through another world, another time, another life. It is this quiet sense of mystery that forms the heart of Untold Stories.

The exhibition looks beyond the stories printed on the pages of a book to explore the stories that begin to form around it. A book can awaken a memory, change a thought, create an emotion, spark curiosity or simply leave behind a silence. Sometimes, the most interesting story is not the one being read, but the one unfolding within the reader.

Through gestures, expressions, relationships and imagined moments, Kedare’s paintings invite viewers to pause and wonder about the invisible worlds carried by every reader.

“Every book tells a story. Every reader carries another. And somewhere between the two are countless stories that may never be spoken the Untold Stories.”

Art lovers, collectors, book lovers and the general public are warmly invited to experience the exhibition.
