Interspace invites you to Pause & Proceed, an exciting group exhibition of seventeen artists at The Quorum, Gurugram. Encapsulating a moment of present and presence, the show invites the viewer to look within; to stand in a moment and perceive as they proceed. At rest, not in a rush.
A concept in Japanese philosophy called Ma has been described as a pause in time, an interval, or negative space. To be present in that interval of time where life happens — the moments in-between is what pause and to proceed elaborates. Working across various mediums, these artists introduce stories that touch upon personal, cultural and multilayered reflections. Their practices present a contemporary, sensorial perspective without abandoning tradition—creating a dynamic space to steal a fraction of time for not only thoughtful responses but visceral, introspective, and playful ruminations.

CURATED BY INTERSPACE AT THE QUORUM CLUB, GURUGRAM
G Rahul
G Rahul is an imagemaker working with faceless figures, distorted forms, and symbolic objects. Weaves personal narrative and found material into richly textured compositions exploring memory, nostalgia, and lived experience.
Jayshree Singh Deo
Jayshree Singh Deo is a printmaker building intimate visual narratives from collected objects, body parts, and everyday figures. Layering and repetition translate emotional states into tactile compositions connecting personal and collective experience.
Vijay Singh Beniwal
Vijay Singh Beniwal works in woodcut and etching, translating rural memory — particularly farming community life — into visual metaphors. His practice balances traditional printmaking with contemporary concerns around community and cultural preservation.
Conrad Pinto
Conrad Pinto works primarily in woodcut and linocut. His realist imagery spans landscape, portrait, and perception, with recent work focused on Goa's vanishing traditional occupations and ecological memory.
Sandipan Paul
Sandipan Paul is a printmaker for whom repetition, layering, and carving are meditative acts. Simple motifs — a paper boat, a kite, a bird — become lyrical metaphors that blur inner feeling and external reality.
Spandan Mundhe
Spandan Mundhe uses satire and camouflaged narrative to examine social, political, and individual behaviour. His work interrogates shifting values and the dynamics between power and insignificance through a humanistic lens.
Rajnish Chhanesh
Rajnish Chhanesh creates miniature paintings that explore the fragile relationship between humans and nature. Rooted in memory and ecological reflection, his dreamlike visuals counter digital oversaturation and invite sensory presence.
Toral Pandya
Toral Pandya works in printmaking and painting to inhabit the in-between: the moment before form, the hush before sound. Her practice treats mark-making as an act of becoming, prioritising encounter over image.
Aman Kumar
Aman Kumar is a painter working at the intersection of political critique and dark satire. Densely populated compositions confront land politics, ecological collapse, and systemic violence through grotesque, ironic imagery.
Bikashchandra Senapati
Bikashchandra Senapati has a drawing-led practice meditating on the tension between rural memory and urban transformation. His mark-making moves between organic fluidity and urban geometry, exploring nature, belonging, and built space.
Ishita Patel
Ishita Patel works in watercolour and charcoal, tracing an evolution from hair as subject to line as formal inquiry. Compositions oscillate between chaos and control, evoking fluidity, texture, and spatial rhythm.
Soumen Ray
Soumen Ray’s practice draws on the aesthetics of the domestic and the political, translating motifs from household images to social reactions into imagery that repositions the personal and political as a central language of intimacy and memory.
Umesh Pandey
Umesh Pandey works across printmaking, drawing, painting, and photography, guided by consciousness, memory, and mindfulness. Cinematic structures inform his layered, contemplative image-making process.
Simran Yagyik
Simran Yagyik explores the emotional undercurrents of domestic routine. Stillness, gesture, and overlooked corners of the middle-class home become sites of longing, beauty, and quiet reflection.
Shashikanta Mohanty
Shashikanta Mohanty’s research-driven practice delves into architecture, memory, and sociopolitical shifts. He focuses on brutalist structures from post-independence India as vessels of personal and collective history.
