To Build a Home

In a house built of memory, breath, and silence, four artists gather: Anila Govindappa, with his paintings that echo like footsteps through familiar corridors, each room heavy with the presence of lives lived, paused, and remembered; Rajnish Chhanesh and his miniatures, that highlight the dream-fog of a world unraveling, with hues soft yet ruptured; Shashikanta Mohanty and his visual murmurs that come through layered blueprints of brutalist silhouettes—ghost towns of ancestral land, where destruction speaks not of loss but of a restless will to remember; and Vivek V C’s watercolours, folding in the scent of petrichor, tracing lullabies gone hoarse with time, tracing porous lives between presence and forgetting, between the hand that held and the one that faded.

To build a home is an exhibition where stories are creating, crumbling, and colliding into an architecture of testimony, memory, and our shared past. Whether a seasoned collector or a first-time buyer, become drawn into a fantastic coterie of artistic practices that are defining a visuality that is decidedly Indian yet abstract; hitherto unseen yet felt all-too-familiar.
