We are excited to announce our representation of Rahul Buski (b.1997, Wayanad, Kerala.)
Through his practice, Buski examines questions of identity, belonging, and history, drawing deeply from biodiversity and ancestral memory. His work reflects an intimate and sustained engagement with the natural world, where human existence is understood as inseparable from its ecological and cultural surroundings.
Buski has participated in the 49th Kerala State Exhibition and the Kochi Muziris Biennale 2025-26.

A fantastic start to Art Mumbai 2025. Looking forward to day two. We are at Stand C38: come say hi!

Form and Memory: Reba H**e in Retrospect celebrates the profound visual language of Reba H**e (1926–2008), whose paintings reflect a life deeply attuned to empathy, structure, and the quiet rhythms of everyday existence. Tracing four decades of her practice, the exhibition explores her journey from figuration to abstraction—where colour, texture, and memory converge in poetic balance. H**e’s works reveal an artist who found tenderness within the turbulence of her time, transforming lived experience into form.

Form and Memory: Reba H**e in Retrospect is on view from 10 November 2025 until 28 December 2025 at our Lake Terrace gallery.

We are thrilled to announce our return to Art Mumbai 2025!
Visit us at Booth C38 — come say hi!

We are presenting a curated collection that spans early modernism to contemporary practice, highlighting the breadth of artistic expression in India across two centuries. The selection brings together important modern masters alongside contemporary voices whose works reflect ongoing dialogues between material, memory, and form. Paintings, drawings, and mixed-media pieces trace shifting approaches to figuration, abstraction, and narrative representation within Indian art. The presentation situates twentieth-century modernists such as Somnath H**e, Bikash Bhattacharjee, Ram Kumar, Sadanand Bakre, Sayed Haider Raza, Prosanto Roy, Bhawani Charan Law, Jogen Chowdhury, and Sudhir Patwardhan, among others, in conversation with contemporary artists including Samindranath Majumdar, Sajal Sarkar, Biswajit Dasgupta, and Viraj Khanna. A rare early nineteenth-century Dutch Bengal painting further anchors the display within a longer trajectory of visual exchange and artistic evolution.

We look forward to seeing you there!

We are thrilled to announce our next exhibition “Form and Memory: Reba H**e in Retrospect” - which brings together paintings made over four decades, mapping H**e’s shift from representation toward abstraction. These works reflect her sustained engagement with the possibilities of form, colour, and texture, and the ways in which memory and experience inform the act of painting.

The exhibition is on view at the gallery from 10 November until 28 December 2026.

We are pleased to announce that our ongoing exhibition Bhunath Mukherjee: A Modernist Lineage of Bengali Portraiture is extended till 28 December 2025.

The exhibition features Bhunath Mukherjee’s portraits and landscapes that trace his development from his early training at the Government School of Art, Calcutta, to his academic refinement at the Royal Academy, London (1952–54). Among the works on display, two portraits—Nabinchandra Sen and Dinabandhu Mitra (both 1956)—mark a significant phase following his return from London. Painted under the influence of Royal Academy pedagogy and Gerald Kelly’s approach to naturalism, these works reveal a shift toward compositional restraint and subtle tonal balance. The focus on facial expression over costume detail reflects Mukherjee’s maturing sensitivity to psychological depth and form, situating him within a modernist lineage of Bengali portraiture that negotiates between academic discipline and local cultural identity.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who stopped by and engaged with our presentation at Frieze Masters this year. We were delighted to showcase Amitava’s solo presentation in Spotlight — curated by Valerie Cassel Oliver () a section that highlights underrepresented artists whose practices emerged between the 1950s and 1970s.

Heartfelt thanks to Valerie, the Frieze team, and everyone who supported us — making our first Frieze Masters truly memorable.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Diwali! May the new year bring peace, love and prosperity.

This early 20th-century print by Abanindranath Tagore reflects his pursuit of an indigenous modernism shaped by Indian and East Asian artistic traditions. The image of a woman holding a lamp is marked by soft tonal transitions and an atmospheric background, showing the influence of Japanese artists Yokoyama Taikan and Hishida Shunso, whom Tagore met in 1903. Executed in the Khokaa woodcut technique, introduced to Santiniketan by Biswarup Bose after his training in Japan, the work represents early experiments in color printing within the Bengal School and captures Abanindranath’s shift from defined form to mood and restraint.
