In Mundane Corners, Simran Yagyik turns her attention to an incense stick holder in use. The ash, still gathering at its tip, and the faint trace of smoke suggest both ritual and residue, the afterlife of a gesture that has already passed. The object is humble, utilitarian, yet through paint it becomes a vessel of memory, carrying with it the rhythms of daily devotion and the silence that follows. What is often overlooked—a corner, a trace of scent—emerges as a tender reminder of continuity, of how even the most ordinary rituals preserve time’s passage in their lingering remains.
Simran Yagyik (b. 1998) delves into the quiet weight of routine and the subtle repetitions of everyday life. Her practice explores the emotional undercurrents of the mundane—where stillness can soothe or suffocate, and where gestures, objects, and overlooked corners of the home become sites of beauty, discomfort, and reflection. Through these explorations, she unravels the melancholic yet poetic nature of domestic spaces, especially the middle-class home, touching on themes of longing, belonging, and the unresolved rhythm of the ordinary. “My practice navigates the quiet weight of routine—the slow build of small, unremarkable moments lived and relived… Within this disorder lies a strange loneliness, a soft sense of insecurity, and a melancholy that’s hard to name but always present,” she reflects.
Simran holds a Master of Visual Arts (M.V.A.) in Printmaking from the Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, where she was awarded the Prof. V.S. Patel Gold Medal, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) in Graphics (Printmaking) from the Government College of Art, Chandigarh, Panjab University, graduating with distinction.
Over the past three years, her work has been showcased in significant exhibitions including The Baroda March (Rukshaan Art, Mumbai, 2025), 1X1X9 Edition 2 (Vis-à-Vis Gallery, Vadodara, 2025), Abhivyakti City Arts Project (Ahmedabad, 2024), Untold Stories (IFBE Gallery, Mumbai, 2024), Abir First Take (Abir Space, Ahmedabad, 2024), Nabh Sparsham: Indian Women Printmakers (National Gallery of Modern Art, 2024), Embark VI–VII (Ark Foundation for the Arts, Vadodara, 2024), and Living a Dark Night (2023). She was awarded the Open Hand Art Studio Scholarship for Printmaking (2024–25), the Vis-à-Vis Studio Residency (2024–26), and the Writing Fellowship by BICAR x Space Studio Baroda (2023). Her earlier recognition includes a National Travel Grant by Punjab Lalit Kala Akademi to the Serendipity Arts Festival, Goa, and a studio scholarship from Chandigarh Lalit Kala Akademi at Open Hand Art Studios.
