Sanya Malik, Founder of Black Cube Gallery presents a showcase that brings together a remarkable selection of Modern and Contemporary artists, offering an engaging dialogue across generations, mediums, and materials.
The exhibition features works by Krishen Khanna, Thota Vaikuntam, Himmat Shah, Mahendra Kadia, Madhvi Parekh, Phaneendra Nath Chaturvedi, Paul Kuntze, and Yashika Sugandh — each exploring unique artistic vocabularies through painting, sculpture, embroidery, jewellery, and functional art.
Diverse in size, medium, and theme, the display includes sculptures, paintings, and embroidery, along with jewellery by Thota Vaikuntam and functional artworks by Yashika Sugandh. Together, these works create a layered visual experience that bridges tradition and innovation, reflecting the gallery’s vision of fostering dialogue between artistic legacies and contemporary practices.
From Krishen Khanna’s poignant portrayals of humanity and Thota Vaikuntam’s vivid depictions of rural Telangana, to Himmat Shah’s timeless sculptural explorations and Mahendra Kadia’s poetic abstractions, the booth traverses decades of Indian modernism. Madhvi Parekh’s folk-inspired yet contemporary visual language, rooted in memory, mythology, and the everyday, adds lyrical depth to the exhibition. Complementing these stalwarts are powerful contemporary voices, Phaneendra Nath Chaturvedi’s dystopian figuration, Paul Kuntze’s reinterpretations of Baroque frescoes, and Yashika Sugandh’s functional, nature-inspired works that blur the line between art and design.
The exhibition will be on view at Art Mumbai 2025, from 13–16 November at the Mahalaxmi Racecourse, Booth C41, 11 AM to 7 PM.
