Landmark Exhibition · 20 – 26 November 2024

Buoyant Iconic Depth

India Habitat Centre, Visual Arts Gallery, Lodhi Road, New Delhi 110003

An exhibition of Sanjeev Sinha comprising a selection of works from the period 2013–2020. During this period Sinha prepared a body of works consisting of paintings and sculptures that have an intrinsic relationship to each other. In both of his works, you can recognize his emotionally loaded reflections on society, beauty and peace. Some of the sculptures were shown in Amsterdam, Netherlands and a large amount of the paintings had never been shown before. We were pleased to be able to fulfil his wish to show them side by side.

This exhibition is a testament to my uncle’s vision and an invitation for the world to engage with his profound artistry.
