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

Sarika Mehta

For the small creature Such as we The vastness is bearable Only through love” - Carl Sagan  Vast horizontal expanse of the earth meeting the immense expanse of the sky at the distant horizon is the recurrent motif that remains with you much after you have seen the recent body of works by Sarika Mehta. The sparse vegetation,the scattered float sam,the stumps of long-dead trees,the pebbly beach are the markers that highlights the immense space. In a large work the land, water and the sky troika play tricks with the eye – is it water or a mirage shimmering in the afternoon heat? so typical of the extensive flatlands of Kutch. One cannot miss the tiny hut,the only human

"In my art, I seek to merge the vibrant essence of Indian culture with the dynamism of Western modernism. Each stroke on the canvas embodies a celebration of life, echoing the vivid hues and rhythms of my homeland.

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

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,
