Kalakriti Art Gallery warmly invites to the opening evening of our upcoming exhibitions at Kalakriti Art Gallery.

Kalakriti Art Gallery in collaboration with Tara Art presents a special viewing of works by Ann Carrington.

Ann Carrington’s practice is the transformation of discarded, found, and everyday objects into sculptural forms layered with meaning and memory.

Liminal Threshold
A solo exhibition by Sumit Sarkar | Curated by Ruchi Sharma

Through paintings of pillows, mattresses, folded fabrics, and stitched surfaces, Sarkar transforms the domestic into a space of memory, vulnerability, and myth. His works inhabit the threshold between the everyday and the sacred, the personal and the collective.

In the Viewing Room

Bringing together 15 artists across painting, mixed media, sculpture, and installation, the exhibition explores unexpected connections between material, form, and idea—allowing dialogues to emerge across diverse artistic practices.

Suneel Mamadapur’s practice unfolds as a dialogue between myth and modernity, where inherited stories are neither preserved nor discarded, but retooled as critical instruments. In Origin Stories, origins are proposed as a “continuum of meaning,” a persistent narrative structure through which societies interpret themselves rather than a single point fixed in antiquity. Mamadapur’s paintings translate this proposition into image-thinking: layered icons, rural archetypes, and theatrical cues disclose how religious imagery, political order, and social identity are fabricated, contested, and remembered.

Formally, the canvases operate as tableaux that borrow the frontal clarity of South Asian narrative painting while refusing the comfort of stable perspective. Saturated nocturnes, tight spotlights, and crisp silhouettes generate a pictorial theatre where causality is suspended. A procession becomes a hybrid body-machine carrying a bed like a ritual vehicle; a conjurer’s podium is flanked by rabbits and prosthetic armatures; a migratory bird perches on domestic furniture above a dark congregation. These recurring figures function like what Aby Warburg called a pathosformel, an affective residue that survives across time and returns as a troubled gesture. In Benjaminian terms, the works build constellations of fragmentary signs, so that ecological degradation and indigenous memory flash up as an urgent present, not a picturesque setting.

Mamadapur is integral to the exhibition’s chapter “Revision, Recovery and the Contemporary Archive,” which frames the contemporary as excavation and recontextualisation, aligned with Foucault’s archaeology of knowledge and Spivak’s demand to attend to historical erasure. His work explicitly “reimagine[s] mythological and rural narratives in relation to environmental degradation and politics,” positioning painting as counter-archiving rather than nostalgia. This aligns with Bhabha’s “reiteration,” where the past returns in altered and disruptive forms, and with the exhibition’s insistence on a conversation between memory and technological imagination, in the spirit of Haraway’s genealogies. Mamadapur’s painterly labour insists

Om Soorya’s visual language emerges from a landscape shaped by suppressed and overlapping
histories. Once-rooted Buddhist traditions in Kerala inform the illumination, vibrancy, and ornamentation in his paintings, shaping his thinking both consciously and unconsciously.

Rather than being deliberately foregrounded, these influences surface intuitively within a visual
vocabulary that engages architectural and landscape forms, geomagnetic structures, and echoes of Jungian archetypal imagery. He transforms the act of viewing into a performative experience, guiding the eye continuously across the surface without a fixed point of rest through intricate detailing. In this sense, the
paintings function as what Pierre Nora terms sites of memory (lieux de mémoire) - not as static monuments, but as symbolic spaces where collective memory, ritual, and cultural residue are activated in the present through abstraction, movement, and light.

While drawing from his cultural past, Soorya constructs a visual language that reflects the
ambiguity of shifting landscapes and an inner state shaped by “non-belonging.” By rejecting fixed notions of belonging, memory remains fluid and lived rather than owned or nostalgically preserved.

New Arrival - Jyoti Singh.

Singh’s compositions unfold as dense, immersive environments where human figures, animals, dwellings, water, and foliage occupy a shared and shifting terrain. There is no fixed foreground or background. Instead, forms emerge through accumulation, overlap, and gradual transformation. The forest becomes less a place than a way of seeing.

Working in her hybrid medium of watercolour and ink, which she calls Aqua Ink, Singh builds surfaces that are at once controlled and fluid. In these works, the forest operates simultaneously as external landscape and interior space. Sky, lake, and bird function as metaphors as much as motifs, suggesting states of mind alongside physical terrain. The resulting environments mirror the complexity of contemporary life, where built space and natural force remain inseparable.

Sachin S Jaltare works invites the viewer to an absorbing journey in his enchanting universe exploringthe cosmic connection through flora and fauna, the harmony of colours, and the expanse of mystical landscapes.

Sachin's artistic odyssey is a testament to his deep connection withself and tradition, retold through modern perspective, weaving together the colourful threads of mythology, the alluring glory of nature, and the unyielding power of Shakti. It is in the female that he centers the perennial fecund energy. Through layered construction, multiple forms are created, producing an ethereal space from his mythic imagination.

In Notes on Fragility (set of seven), Keerti Pooja approaches memory as an act of excavation—gathering traces, fragments, and fleeting impressions into a quiet yet powerful archive.

Across irregular sheets of wasli, marigolds, fading botanical forms, and partial figures emerge and recede, creating a visual language of absence and remembrance. Rather than offering a complete narrative, the works invite us to linger in the spaces between what is preserved and what is lost.

Tender, layered, and deeply evocative, Pooja’s practice reminds us that memory often survives not as certainty, but as a trace.
