Space 118

Space 118 The Space118 Fine Art Grant is a financial production grant given towards the realisation of an ongoing or a newly conceived project.

We are looking at a diversity of artists working in the studios to create a lively, supportive and dynamic working environment. We aim to foster the exchange of ideas and experiences amongst artists who work in different fields of art practice. We hope to nurture the interdisciplinary impetus for collaboration and collective exchange. It will also be possible for artists to interact with a range o

f institutions (scientific, industrial and artistic) based in Bombay or to simply use their studio term as a playful engagement with the city and its landscape. Based in the heart of industrial Bombay, 15 minutes drive to Kalaghoda and the arts district in Colaba, artists have the freedom to experience the rich and cultural arts scene in Bombay on daily basis. We also encourage artists to have the freedom to develop their work at their own pace and interpret the studio term from their own perspective. Saloni Doshi

Vruddhi Patel’s practice explores impermanence through fragile materials such as handmade paper, papier-mâché, and organic matter, treating them as collaborators in a process of memory and transformation. Working with organic, fragmented forms, she embraces erosion, asymmetry, and tactile surfaces. Through slow, repetitive gestures, her work gives form to fleeting emotions and unseen narratives. It ultimately reflects on vulnerability, transience, and the quiet beauty of change.

The show was on view at Space118 Art Foundation, Mumbai, India, from the 2nd of August to the 15th of August, 2026.

Utkarsh Shakya’s practice is rooted in close observation of everyday life, capturing the unnoticed moments left behind in the chaos. With a strong focus on light, depth and perspective, his works are layered with subtle humor. He tries to portray unique stories from North Indian marriages that echo through generations, showcasing the vivid, unsaid feelings and moments of the various situations he notices.

Tushar Baraiya’s work is an exploration of texture, colour, and form, realised through the medium of thread. Drawn to its tactile nature, he constructs abstract compositions inspired by the dynamic interplay of nature, the sky, and personal experiences. His works are purely expressions of form and colour. His paintings exist solely as autonomous entities, devoid of external references or meanings.

Suresh Singha’s practice is rooted in the observational dialogue between him and his surroundings, exploring the intersection of memory, language, and materiality, often reworking drawing, sound, and printmaking into layered painterly expressions. Engaging both personal histories and collective narratives, Singha’s works examine displacement, myth, and ecological shifts within contemporary social contexts.

This exhibition is on view until today.

Somnath Sarkar’s practice is rooted in printmaking and painting, expanding into interdisciplinary approaches that experiment with materiality and form while negotiating between traditional techniques and contemporary visual languages. Incorporating discarded elements like plastic and fibreglass, he sustainably pushes the boundaries of printmaking by portraying the resilience of nature and humankind, subverting conventional narratives and creating immersive, thought-provoking artworks.

Shruti Goyal’s practice involves gazing beyond the horizon to imbue landscapes with deep emotion. She uses colour to extensively portray unique emotions, developing a prism of feelings that resonate with the viewer’s innermost sentiments. She creates layered abstractions in oil and acrylic, deeply inspired by nature, time, and memory, working in expansive, textured canvases where colour, emotion, and place interact to form introspective visual narratives.

This exhibition is on view until 15th August 2026.

Shrikant Ranga’s practice is rooted in contemporary reinterpretations of traditional Indian miniatures, which he fractures through shards of mirror, pixelation, glitches, and digital interruptions. These disruptions reflect how memory functions today as a layered, unstable, and refracted phenomenon. By reimagining kings, queens, and myths as palimpsests, his work explores how old stories are rewritten through the lens of technology, distortion, and personal memory.

This exhibition is on view until 15th August 2026.

Shimran’s practice is rooted in her deep appreciation for nature. Using Kantha as a reflection of her traditional roots and cultural background, her art shifts according to her mood and emotional state. Her artwork is not limited to mediums and tools, and this flexibility allows her to create intricately detailed, labour-intensive work that portray how the notion of development has affected nature and the female body.

This exhibition is on view until 15th August 2026.

Samir’s works are deeply rooted in the essence of displacement. Drawing from diverse Eastern Indian material – white clay, mineral colours, cow dung, indigo, coal tar, he traces river-centric emotions and experiments with shifting geographies. His works embody the tensions between memory and territory, evoking both personal and collective experiences of movement, instability, and belonging.

This exhibition is on view until 15th August 2026.
