"Touch Beyond the Surface invites viewers into a dialogue with the artist, mediated through the very language of materials and process. Each work aims to provoke curiosity, not just a glance, but a contemplative gaze, and one that uncovers subtle mysteries.
A unifying thread across the exhibition is hybridisation—a blending of techniques, traditions, and narratives that lends each work a layered complexity. Folklore, memory, and personal histories resonate through contemporary expressions, imbuing the works with both intimacy and universality.
The concept of touch permeates the exhibition metaphorically. These works invite mental and emotional engagement, encouraging viewers to feel, imagine, and connect through deep thought alone. Subject and process arise organically from the artists’ practice—uncontrived, authentic, yet profoundly communicative.
Sixteen artists reflect both the magic of their surroundings and the intimate dialogue between artist, medium, and observer. This exhibition becomes a space where wonder, curiosity, and discovery unfold, inviting viewers to touch beyond the surface and reflect on not just the what, but also the why and how of each work."
Touch Beyond the Surface will be on view at Rukshaan Art until 10th October, 2025.
