Jamini Roy's studio offers a fascinating glimpse into how modern Indian art was being reimagined in the early twentieth century. After moving away from European academic painting, Roy turned to Bengal's folk traditions not only for a new visual language, but also for a different way of making and sharing art.

His workshop drew from the collective methods of traditional folk painters, allowing works to be produced with several hands involved while making original paintings accessible to a wider audience. This challenged the growing idea of the artist as a solitary creator whose hand alone determined an artwork's value.

Roy's approach therefore raised a larger question that still resonates today: when an artwork carries one artist's vision, how much does it matter that more than one person helped make it?

What can censorship really achieve if the words survive?

Shilpa Gupta’s ‘For, In Your Tongue, I Cannot Fit’ brings together poetry written by people whose words placed them in conflict with the authorities around them, spanning centuries, countries and languages. The work grew from Gupta’s wider interest in how power controls movement, information and expression.

The installation takes its title from the 14th century Azerbaijani poet Nasimi, whose verse became a starting point for Gupta’s exploration of voices that could not be contained. Poems by writers including Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Kazi Nazrul Islam and Varavara Rao enter into a conversation across different political and social histories.

First commissioned by YARAT Contemporary Art Space and Edinburgh Art Festival, the work has since been presented internationally, including at the 58th Venice Biennale and the Barbican. Its enduring question is simple but difficult: if a voice can be imprisoned, can its words ever truly be contained?

Warli painting is often recognised for its striking simplicity, but its geometric language carries a much larger idea. The forms are rooted in observation: the circle in the sun and moon, the triangle in mountains and trees, and the square in spaces shaped and enclosed by people.

As these forms move across the painting, they begin to connect different parts of life. The landscape, the people who inhabit it, their everyday activities and their rituals are not treated as separate subjects. They exist within the same visual system.

This makes Warli less about reducing the world to three shapes and more about finding a way to understand the world through them. Its geometry brings nature, human life and the sacred into a single visual vocabulary.

Ravi Shail’s ‘Unconfined’ looks at how art can move beyond conventional boundaries, using photographs as the starting point for mixed-media works. The exhibition draws attention to ordinary moments and familiar forms, inviting viewers to pause, observe and engage with them in new ways.

A Delhi-based artist and photographer, Shail is a recipient of the Lalit Kala Akademi National Academy Award and the National Photography Award from the Government of India.

The exhibition is on view until 29th August at the Main Art Gallery, India International Centre, New Delhi.

Lithography occupies a unique place in the history of printmaking, bridging artistic expression with technical ingenuity. By allowing artists to draw directly onto stone or plate, the medium retains the immediacy of the original gesture while producing multiple original impressions. Its enduring popularity among collectors reflects both its historical importance and its continued relevance within today's art market.

At Unakoti, sculpture is inseparable from the landscape it occupies. The sandstone cliffs become surfaces for enormous reliefs, while streams, vegetation and the surrounding hills form part of the setting in which they are encountered. This makes the site less like a collection of individual sculptures and more like a continuous sculptural landscape.

The site also offers an unusual record of how artistic traditions travelled and changed. Familiar religious imagery was interpreted through regional forms, materials and techniques, resulting in figures that carry both the larger visual language of Hindu art and the character of the communities that made them.

That connection between art, place and living practice continues at Unakoti. During the annual Ashokastami Mela, pilgrims gather at the site and take ritual dips in the streams surrounding the carvings, keeping the landscape connected to a tradition of worship that extends beyond its archaeological history.
