Mahesh Honule’s Mumbai solo show opens with 30+ watercolour‑acrylic landscapes

UPDATE - follow-up to Belagavi artist exhibits work in Mumbai: Mahesh Honule, a painter from Belagavi, has opened a solo exhibition at The Art Entrance Gallery situated on Mahatma Gandhi Road in Mumbai, running until November 16. The opening ceremony on November 10 was led by fellow artist Vikas Patnekar and nationally recognised film director Deepak S.V. The show features more than thirty pieces crafted with water‑colour and acrylic techniques. Honule’s canvases depict popular destinations across Karnataka, Maharashtra and Goa, as well as scenes from Shimla and Nepal. Highlights include views of Belagavi, Badami, the historic ruins of Hampi, the Konkan coastline, Goa’s beaches and the Himalayan town of Shimla. Each artwork is painted by Honule himself, blending delicate washes with vibrant acrylic strokes. The collection aims to promote regional tourism by showcasing the visual charm of these locations. Visitors to the gallery can walk through the exhibition free of charge, allowing a broad audience to experience the artist’s interpretation of Indian landscapes. ## Context The gallery’s central Mumbai location makes the exhibit easily reachable for city dwellers, while the focus on local tourist spots reflects a growing interest in domestic travel promotion among Indian artists.
