Paintings
Persistence of faith
Mixed medium on paper
25 x 42 inches
R Magesh

The work explores the constant tension between the aspect of light and dark, good andbad, relating the contemporary to the historic and the sacred to the profane, thesignificance and history of painting as a system of representation, exposing how the materiality of paint can carry and convey meaning. Necessitating a slowed-down process of looking, the intensely worked surfaces are delicate and luminous, expanding and reforming found imagery through studied formal approaches. The work weaves multiple narratives that are based on pre existing imagery culled from a variety of sources, including early renaissance painting, film stills, personal photography, historical events and news

Still stays as once they were
Casein on canvas

Soumen Das

My artistic process unfolds in layers, starting with pastel scribbles forming geometric patterns. These initial sketches undergo a transformation through varied brushwork using opaque and transparent colors, incorporating diverse marks and linear details. This process continues until the artwork reaches a point that resonates with my vision.  Typically, I engage with multiple paintings simultaneously. They evolve gradually, with me moving back and forth between them. Some pieces take precedence, while others wait for further exploration. Throughout this journey, my fascination with the structured linearity of urban landscapes and the play of transparency and luminosity permeates the

Celebrating green day
Oil on Canvas

Balaji Ponna

This series embodies my ongoing exploration of what I refer to as 'human-scapes,' reflecting my observations and reflections on contemporary society. It acts as a mirror, revealing the dystopian essence of our times. In an era marked by rampant hatred and betrayal, the aspiration for a brighter future seems to wane. While a future exists, its complexion remains uncertain. The agents of change appear ominous, and the vision is obscured as we search for traces of humanity. What remains are echoes and lessons of truths waiting to be rediscovered. If we listen to these simple truths, perhaps there's still a chance for clarity in our skies. The prevailing darkness, both literal and

Synthetic landscape
Acrylic on photographic vinyl

Pranay Dutta

My practice examines the complex relationship between our terrestrial species and landscapes; drawing from the tension between our exploitative, extractive processes, and the imaginations/fictions of care, mutation, survival, regeneration and ‘hope’. It departs from the spilling demands of our technological era that depend on further depleting the Earth’s natural resources and studies its vast implications on the future of our ecological systems. Deriving from scientific, infrastructural and climatic data and an archive of images created over the past 8 years, my practice employs the language/devices of science fiction and gaming worlds to coalesce geology, archaeology,
