Palette Art Gallery

Palette Art Gallery Palette’s approach has been interdisciplinary towards newer discourses and media. The Works by Ten Masters. A Retrospective of the Works of Anupam Sud.

Palette Art Gallery, over the years has earned a distinction of having showcased and represented works by artists from the Masters to the young emerging talent. In the year 2001, Palette Art Gallery was conceptualized and conceived in the capital city of New Delhi, India. A contemporary space with a modern tone, the gallery attempted to give voice to the emerging talent of the day balanced with a

roster of shows that presented the Masters of India Art through pre and post independence. Always innovative and always striving towards new paradigms, the Palette Art Gallery has, in its journey, reached many milestones and many goals. The brainchild of gallery directors, Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna, the institution is spectacularly situated at a location, overlooking the peaceful greens of the historic Delhi Golf Club. Its very setting brings an element of Zen to its interiors and the sharp, minimalist design makes it a perfect canvas to showcase the very best in art. Palette has prided itself to present different medium of artistic expression ranging from the traditional to the experimental. Oils, watercolors, video, photography and performance art have all found a home at the galley. Special mention should be made of ground breaking shows such as The Bombay Boys in 2004 which exhibited the works of Sudarshan Shetty, T V Santosh , Riyas Komu and many more. The Absence of an Architect by Gigi Scaria. Systematic Citizen, a solo show by Riyaz Komu. Mapping the Conscience by Manjit Bawa which was also the great artist’s last solo and more recently Lost in an Urban Maze, a group show with some of the best Indian talent. Other significant efforts were, The New Order Beauty, a 12 artists show which included seven International artists and Spell Of Spill - Utopia Of Ecology , Curated By Veeranganakumari Solanki.

Alongside his sculptural practice, Rajesh Ram’s oil paintings and watercolours offer another way into the landscapes, people and moments that have continued to shape his work.

From intimate scenes of everyday life to curious encounters between people, animals and their surroundings, these works carry the same sense of observation that runs through his sculptures. His subjects remain rooted in lived experience, while the fluidity of paint and watercolour allows for a more immediate, atmospheric exploration of them.

Across both mediums, Rajesh’s attention remains drawn to the ordinary — the gestures, characters and fleeting moments that become carriers of memory.

As Ina Puri (Ina Puri)writes, “Rajesh has that keen ability to transform the ordinary into the exceptional.”

On the opening day of Kaghaz ki Kashti, we caught up with artist Rajesh Ram’s teacher Mr. Shyam Sharma. This brief encounter has all the warmth of a fireside conversation, tapping into the contemplative nature of Ram’s work.

From the familiar gestures of childhood to the shifting relationship between the rural and the urban, Kaghaz Ki Kashti invites us to look again at what we remember, and at how those memories continue to shape the present.

Everyday objects, fragments, geometry and memory come together in the layered mixed-media works of N. Ramachandran.

Working with found imagery, grids, and assemblage, Ramachandran creates compositions that sit somewhere between an urban archive and an abstract landscape. His works often bring seemingly disparate elements into carefully constructed arrangements with mathematical precision.

The artist’s fascination with compartmentalisation can be traced, in part, to the humble ‘anjarai petti’ — his mother’s traditional spice box — whose divisions became an early point of departure for his interest in box-like assemblage and the possibilities of bringing different fragments together.

Born in Paramakudi, Tamil Nadu, Ramachandran’s work has been exhibited extensively in India and internationally, and he has received several honours including the Charles Wallace India Trust Award and the National Academy Award.

Memory, material and lived experience come together in the sculptural practice of Rajesh Ram.

Working primarily in bronze, while also engaging with wood, terracotta and mixed media, Rajesh builds a visual language from naturalistic and simple motifs that have remained part of his imagination since childhood. His works often begin with the simple and familiar that transforms into meditations on freedom, resilience, and hope.

Rooted in the stories, fables, and oral traditions of his village, Rajesh’s practice brings together memory and contemporary experience, folklore and lived reality. His apprenticeship with village artisans, followed by his formal training at Patna Art College, continues to inform an approach where craftsmanship and imagination remain inseparable.

The result is a body of work that appears familiar, even playful, while opening up deeper questions around nature, community, labour and the changing landscapes of rural life.

The show opens today!

To mark the 11th year of Bihar Museum’s foundation, we present a retrospective of the works of Rajesh Ram in Kaghaz ki Kashti: Retracing Memories of Boyhood

Featured here is Ram’s Homo Sapien series, a truly Darwinian delight. He juxtaposes the homo sapiens with Indian temple sculptures . They stand testament to the artist’s fascination for the roots of human history.

“In this sculpture I am creating a bridge between the past and the present. I have portrayed an erotic figurine style from Indian temple sculptures. I wanted to represent fertility and procreation of civilisations by making these sculptures.”
