TARUN SHARMA | IMPRINTS OF INTERDEPENDENCE: SPOTLIGHT - EDITION III, THE CAMELLIAS CLUBHOUSE

Antarang presents the third edition of Spotlight series from March 13 -- 20, 2026, an initiative dedicated to bringing emerging Indian talent right to the club area. This edition presents Tarun Sharma, a contemporary visual artist based in New Delhi, whose practice primarily focuses on printmaking techniques such as mezzotint, linocut, collagraphy, and carving on discarded plywood. The artist embraces processes that demand slowness, pressure, and physical engagement. Through the tactile and time-intensive process of printmaking, the artist creates images that are both intimate and repeatable, echoing the very systems of interdependence that bind humans and nature. Print becomes not just medium, but metaphor.

Through these materially grounded practices, he creates images that function as visual testimonies inviting empathy and reflection on shared, precarious existence. His recent body of work engages with questions of coexistence between humans, animals, birds, and the natural world amid rapid urban and ecological change. Shaped by lived experience and close environmental observation, his work reflects on the fragility of life in a city marked by extreme pollution and unchecked expansion. The works foreground non-human lives rendered invisible or expendable within human-centered narratives.
