Speaking on the occasion, artist Alip Majumdar said that his initial two years of engineering in Mysuru was eclipsed by clouds of anxiety and depression due to fear and loneliness. 

When it reached a breaking point, the artist in him surfaced overboard  and he started experimenting on artwork on paper to ease himself out. It worked like a positive therapy and he became a normal person in due course, he said.

Pointing out that his ‘Trajectory of Depression’ was a creative journey for him, Alip said that 22 of his best artworks are being displayed at the expo.

Senior artist and Gallery Curator N.B. Kaverappa said that Alip, who is from West Bengal and studying Engineering in Mysuru, had come to him four months ago with a request for organising an expo of his artworks.
