Grammar of Seeing

13th June 2026 - 16th June 2026

Presented by Gallery Splash this exhibition offers a major retrospective view of Ratan Parimoo’s practice, bringing together paintings, prints, drawings, collages, and works on paper with a substantial body of archival material, including photographs, letters, correspondences, and the artist’s own writings. At the heart of the exhibition is a commitment to looking closely at the evolution of form. The retrospective format makes it possible to see this inquiry in full, not as a linear progression from figuration to abstraction, but as a more complex and recursive movement between study and invention. Equally central to this exhibition is the archive. Photographs, letters, correspondences, and writings by the artist are presented not as supplementary documents, but as integral components of the retrospective. The exhibition proposes a fuller account of Parimoo’s legacy, one attentive not only to aesthetic achievement, but also to study, pedagogy, and the texture of an artistic life. This retrospective reconstructs a practice shaped by rigorous study and sustained experimentation. What comes into view is not only the arc of an oeuvre, but the formation of an artistic consciousness, one in which form becomes a way of knowing, and the archive a living extension of the work itself.

When India Became Home

19th June 2026 - 23rd June 2026

Julia Usmanova is a Russian artist whose practice explores memory, identity, and belonging through figurative painting. Through figurative imagery, layered compositions, and symbolic storytelling, the works examine home not as a fixed geography but as an emotional state carried across borders, her paintings invite reflection on belonging, adaptation, and cultural exchange, creating a dialogue between personal memory and shared human experience. This exhibition presents the works of the artist whose paintings emerge from her personal journey between Russia and India. Her artistic practice is informed by everyday encounters, human relationships, and remembered landscapes. Curated by Neena Gulati, the exhibition aims to open conversations around diaspora experiences and how art can become a bridge between distant worlds.

Guardians of the Threshold

05th June 2026 - 09th June 2026

Kaisang Padma is a contemporary painter whose work draws inspiration from the landscapes and cultural atmosphere of Ladakh, her paintings often explore solitary figures and quiet architectural spaces that evoke themes of silence, watchfulness, and spiritual presence within Himalayan environment. Drawing from the cultural tradition and spiritual symbolism, the works draw from the landscapes of Ladakh, wherein the high- altitude terrains exist in a state of profound silence and vast openness, her practice explores the relationship between landscape, memory, and inner reflection. Suggesting a quiet dialogue between the natural world and the human imagination, the paintings present different forms of witnessing- figures, animals and landscapes that stand quietly at the threshold between human presence and vast continuity of the mountains.
