Description:
Srila Chatterjee of Baro Market and Sahil Arora of Method come together for the first time for a collaborative curation for over 50 Indian artists, showcasing a diverse range of styles, mediums, and artistic expressions. Their shared vision to break down barriers and make art accessible to all is reflected in this unique exhibition.
A special "Collector's Corner" at the show will offer affordably priced works by prominent artists. With original and certified pieces priced between Rs 3,000 and Rs 3 lakhs, the exhibition provides a unique opportunity for art enthusiasts to discover, invest and collect remarkable works.
Coming to Delhi for the first time, this exhibition promises to be a highlight of the city's art calendar. It features an impressive array of works, including Venkat Shyam's Gond art, Sanjay Chitara's Mata ni Pachedi, and Banoo Batliboi's book sculpture art. Through a storytelling approach, the exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the richness and diversity of Indian art, from folk to contemporary.
Highlights of the show:
National Award winner Anwar Chitrakar- Multi-talented artist, skilled at both Bengal Pattachitra and Kalighat art. His work combines the old and the new across materials, forms and themes, and he often uses traditional art forms to engage with contemporary sociopolitical issues.
Banoo Batliboi- A self-taught paper artist. She works with old, often abandoned books, re-imagining them into amazing paper sculptures that she brings to life using precision folding (rather than cutting or sticking).
Ayesha Broacha - An artist, photographer, a mother and sports enthusiast. Her everyday experiences are infused into her quirky art, and the roles and experiences of women play a central role in the themes she explores. She works with gouache, graphite and water colours, to create art that is real, humorous, poignant and beautifully relatable.
Gitanjali Das -A rare female artist in Oriya Pattachitra, and a student of the master artist Arjun Maharana. Gitanjali paints on silk fabric and on palm leaves, telling stories of gods and goddesses, forests and nature, in exquisitely intricate detail. Painted with fine brushes that are almost nib-like, and natural pigments made from ground minerals, each exceptional artwork can take several months to complete, and is both a testament to the artist’s skill and a true labour of love.
Hiral Bhagat - An Ahmedabad based calligraphy artist who works with the script of her
mother tongue, Gujarati. Her art practice involves extensive analysis of literary works
to explore text content, rhythm, length, and their implications for visual expression.
Sanjay Chitara & Sons-Mata Ni Pachedi (literally, “behind the Mother Goddess”) depicting stories of the Mother Goddess, were used as mobile shrines by the nomadic Vaghari community of Gujarat who were not allowed into temples. While staying true to the core form, he has also introduced new colours, styles, stories and formats that help evolve it, and his fine detailing is a hallmark of his craft.
Vikalp Mishra - An artist, designer and educator based in Kanpur. Over the years, his creativity has crisscrossed disciplines, from fashion design to store displays, graphic design and more. His art practice extends across a range of mediums. This collection of watercolours explores the idea of beauty beyond its conventional bounds, urging us to look deeper and see better.
Hardev Chauhan's work explores the societal impact of agriculture, capturing the delicate balance between the natural world and human intervention through painting on subjects like cotton, cloth, wheat, maize, and groundnut.
Aman Kumar’s acrylic paintings draw inspiration from his grandmother’s weaving craft, using layered textures and colour harmonies to evoke the tactile quality of textiles and explore everyday scenes with emotional depth and social insight.
Deepshika Khaitan’s symbolic compositions, rendered in pen, ink, acrylic, and gold leaf, reflect the layered architecture and lived histories of contemporary city life, drawing from Western art influences to evoke a quiet sense of hope and divinity.

About Method
“The Revolution introduced me to art, and in turn art introduced me to the revolution!”
– Albert Einstein
It’s unclear as to whether Einstein was talking about a political or scientific revolution, but it is evident that art and breaking away are intermingled at the core.
Method is an introspective and “extrospective” approach to art and the world in which it currently exists. By acknowledging that limitlessness is an inherent characteristic of creativity,
we fall beyond the domain of predetermined outcomes not only as artists but as a community.
In doing so, we transpose and expand with the movement of art. This cultivates collaboration and experimentation for the purpose of expression as well as discovery.
Method has galleries in Mumbai & New Delhi.
Date: 24th May – 22nd June, 2025
Time: 12pm – 8pm
Venue: Method, Basement, D-59, Defence Colony, Delhi
