Opening at the Jehangir Art Gallery, Auditorium Hall, ‘Beneath the Surface’ brings together four artists whose practices are rooted in an engagement with what lies beyond immediate visibility. The exhibition is less concerned with surface resolution and more with the internal negotiations, of memory, material, and lived experience, that precede and shape the final work. It asks the viewer to slow down, to look past the evident, and to encounter the quieter, often unresolved tensions embedded within each piece.

Charanjeet Singh’s works move between past and present, drawing from architectural memory and historical visual languages to construct spaces that feel both intimate and distant. His paintings hold a sense of time layered upon itself, where fragments of history are neither preserved nor erased, but reconfigured.

Manish Sharma approaches the landscape as a psychological terrain. Working within a restrained palette, he builds images that oscillate between recognition and ambiguity. These are not depictions of place, but states of perception, where structure dissolves into texture and memory resists clarity.

Abhishek Mandala’s sculptural language centres on the human figure as a site of pressure and transition. His forms suggest bodies shaped by forces larger than themselves, economic, social, and spatial, where endurance and fragility exist in constant negotiation.

Kaushik Gajjar reflects on the idea of dwelling, not as static architecture but as a living, relational condition. His compositions evoke built environments that seem to lean, connect, and respond to one another, suggesting a collective life embedded within structure.

This show was inaugurated on 21st April 2026 by Honorable Guest Praful Shah(Art Collector) in the presence of Vipta Kapadia(Eminent Artist),   Vinod Sharma (Renowned Artist), Anant Nikam( Eminent Artist), Sushma Sabnis (Art Curator & Writer)
