A breakthrough is a state of transcendence. It defines an iconic moment in someone’s life, where one arrives at an elevated state of being – mental, physical or spiritual. Neerajj Mittra’s solo show “Breakthrough” represents this state in his creative journey. A horse bears the testimony of human civilization. It represents times of war and peace; change and continuum; rise and fall. To Mittra, the horse is no longer a mere subject, but a conduit through which he explores his deepest desires and aspirations. This horse traverses through a myriad world of beauty, grace and intrigue created by him. With a powerful forward motion, it is breaking through all the barriers of the past, challenging the present and moving towards the future. For the first time the horse is not his idol, but a companion. Mittra deepens this inquiry through a prolific body of work which includes drawings, paintings and sculptures.
