10 new art shows in India we’re excited about this July
Artists aren’t simply just painters or sculptors. At many moments, they change roles, from storytellers to gatherers, from dreamers to doers. This show aims to enlighten viewers on what it takes to be an artist, to showcase the entire process of art-making. Curated by Vaidehi Gohil and Sonakshi Bhandari, the exhibition features works by all 18 artists represented by the gallery, including Areez Katki, Vishwa Shroff, Rithika Merchant, Ronny Sen, Pratap Morey, Sameer Kulavoor and Saubiya Chashmawala among others. Each of their creations is displayed along with the research materials, notes, work tools and any other objects included in their artistic process, making for an intriguing and engaging showcase.
On view at TARQ, KK (Navsari) Chambers, Ground Floor, 39 AK Nayak Marg, Fort, Mumbai until 14th August 2025
The Outlier – VN Jyothi Basu at Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke, New Delhi
This Kerala-born artist’s work is so captivating that the gallery chose to first represent him when it didn’t even have a physical space to showcase his art. A founding member of the Indian Radical Painters and Sculptors Association, VN Jyothi Basu has always worked on his own terms, flitting between being a painter and disappearing into nothingness whenever he pleases. Learn about this outlier of the art world through works on display at Galerie Mirchandani + Steinruecke’s Delhi space, which features his paintings from the 1990s and beyond, including charcoal drawings and his iconic oil painting Farewell Party (2004).
