Director's Note
Dear Patrons,
The past few months have been a meaningful reminder of why spaces for art and dialogue matter. With In Resonance: The Self and The World, our first contemporary exhibition in this space, we set out to create a platform for artists exploring personal and collective experiences through diverse and experimental mediums. The strong engagement from artists, collectors, and the larger art community has been both encouraging and affirming of this vision. Beyond the exhibition, our Studio Stories series on social media continues to deepen this engagement by bringing audiences closer to the thoughts and processes behind the works. This exploration of inner landscapes will also extend into an upcoming art therapy workshop with artist Hansika Mangwani, reflecting our belief in art as a pathway to inner awareness and healing. As part of our continued commitment to building conversations around art, we will also be presenting highlights from our modern masters collection, alongside educational initiatives such as our Curious Collector Series. Thank you for being part of this journey as we continue to build not just a gallery, but a living space for dialogue, discovery, and deeper connections with art.
Warmly, Sania G. Vohra

Indian Masters: The Visionary Foundation
|
|
January 30 - March 3, 2026
|
|
|
This exhibition brought together some of the finest articulations of modern and contemporary Indian art. It reflected on how the social and political shifts surrounding independence, along with the legacy of colonialism, shaped the practices of modern masters. The exhibition also explored how these modernist ideas were carried forward and reinterpreted by contemporary artists. Together, the works created a dialogue across generations, tracing evolving artistic languages and concerns. The exhibition invited viewers to revisit the spirit of experimentation and inquiry that defined Indian modernism. |

Imprints of Interdependence | Tarun Sharma |
|
The third edition of Spotlight featured Tarun Sharma, whose print-based practice explored ideas of coexistence, ecology, and urban life. Using slow and labour - intensive printmaking processes, the artist created works that reflected on the fragile balance between humans, animals, and the natural environment. The exhibition considered themes of environmental change, urban expansion, and invisibility of non-human life. The works functioned as quiet reflections on shared and precarious existence.
|
|
|
The printmaking workshop was an engaging and interactive session that welcomed participants across age groups. Through softboard printing and linocut techniques, they were introduced to the nuances of carving, inking, and printing. Working hands-on with the press, participants experienced the full journey of creating a print. The session encouraged play, experimentation, and creative freedom. Each participant left with their own handmade prints, and a deeper appreciation for the process.

Curious Collectors Series - Session 1.0 |
|
The session unfolded as an engaging and open conversation around understanding art beyond aesthetics, particularly in the context of collecting and the art market. Discussions moved through questions of why art is collected, how artworks are priced, and how factors such as period, subject, and rarity influence value. The conversation also touched upon the growth of the Indian art market, budgeting for art, and the differences between artists showing independently and through galleries. It was an interactive exchange of ideas, experiences, and perspectives on living with art as both pleasure and investment.

Artwork in Focus - Modern
|
|
Paramjit Singh Untitled Oil on canvas 60 x 48” 2009 |
|
|
Paramjit Singh’s landscapes draw from the pastoral environment of his childhood in Amritsar, existing between representation and abstraction. Rather than depicting nature realistically, his works evoke its mood through expansive, quiet compositions. Marked by an impressionist sensitivity to light and an expressionist use of colour, his paintings balance freshness with calm through layered greens, blues, whites, and earthy tones. Over time, he shifted to using a palette knife, creating richly textured surfaces that add depth and immersion. While recurring elements appear across his works, subtle shifts in colour, texture, and atmosphere give each painting a distinct and engaging character. |

Artwork in Focus - Contemporary |
|
Jagmohan Bangani Mahamrityunjaya Mantra Acrylic on canvas 69 x 69 2022 |
|
|
The artwork engages with the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra not only as sacred text but also as visual form. Built through layers of thick acrylic, the repeated script transforms into a textured surface where language shifts from something to be read to something to be experienced, becoming image, pattern, and a meditative field. Rooted in the Rigveda and dedicated to Lord Shiva, the mantra is associated with healing, protection, and inner strength. Through its repeated inscription, the artist transforms writing into a meditative act, embedding time, labour, and devotion into the surface. As the layers build, the text becomes less legible yet more present, inviting slow contemplation and creating a space that reflects on repetition, stillness, and spiritual experience. |
