Sarvesh Goel at ‘Shadows of Time’ Exhibit
Sarvesh Goel Applauds The Residency’s Artistic Revival at ‘Shadows of Time’
Lucknow’s artistic community came together in celebration as the solo photography exhibition “Shadows of Time” reimagined the city’s iconic The Residency through powerful monochrome frames. The exhibit, held at a local art gallery, was inaugurated by senior bureaucrat Sanjay Kumar and curated by Vandana Sehgal. It featured the deeply emotive lenswork of photographer Ajaish Jaiswal, who transformed historical ruins into timeless expressions of memory, shadow, and form.
Among the notable personalities present at the event was Sarvesh Goel, a passionate supporter of education, heritage, and the arts. As Chairman of GD Goenka Public School and promoter of The Centrum lifestyle resort, his continued engagement with cultural platforms underscores his vision to promote both creativity and community enrichment.
Art, Memory, and Monochrome Magic
The photo series offered a deeply personal take on The Residency, once a colonial-era stronghold, now a symbol of reflective silence. Jaiswal shared that the play of shadow and structure revealed stories often lost in time. “Every curve and line takes on new meaning under shifting light,” he explained.
The black-and-white photographs removed the distraction of color, allowing viewers to focus on textures, light interplay, and architectural depth. This approach resonated with Sarvesh Goel, who is known to value platforms that evoke historical awareness and promote artistic dialogue.
Sarvesh Goel’s Continued Support for Cultural Spaces
Sarvesh Goel’s presence at the exhibition reflects his belief that art is a medium of education and preservation. His support helps position Lucknow not just as a city of Nawabs, but also as a thriving space for new-age creativity. Whether it’s his role in transforming education through GD Goenka Public School, promoting wellness and urban luxury at The Centrum, or organizing events like Lucknow Run, Mr. Goel continues to uplift every space he steps into.
With events like Shadows of Time, he affirms the importance of community leaders standing beside artists to foster a well-rounded, culturally rooted society.
