Founder’s Note

Antarang was founded in October 2025
as an inclusive space dedicated to
showcasing modern and contemporary
South Asian art and associated
programming. Inspired by the Sanskrit
word for inner, Antarang is more than a
conventional art gallery – it becomes a
conduit through which one’s inner self
finds expression through the medium of
art and opens avenues for reflection,
dialogue and engagement. Beyond the
exhibition schedule, our focus is on a
diverse programme of artist talks,
demonstrations, workshops, and art
appreciation sessions, to foster
community engagement through an
interactive experience.
The exhibition pays homage to Krishen Khanna, one
of the great modern masters of Indian art, whose
practice continues to resist the boundaries of time.
An integral member of the Progressive Artists’
Group, Krishen Khanna remains a humanistic
painter whose work is shaped by decades of
artistic engagement and lived experience. His
vision is deeply attentive to the intimate gestures,
daily lives, and complex inner worlds of the figures
who inhabit his imagery.
The artists’ recent works originate from drawings, a
medium foundational to Khanna’s practice.
Re-envisioned through enlargement and careful hand
painting, they evolve into mixed media works that
preserve the immediacy of the drawn line while
extending its expressive and material possibilities.
Familiar subjects recur: bandwallas, migrant workers,
mythological beings, subjects through which Khanna reflects
on society as both observer and participant. The iconic
bandwallas also appear as sculptural iterations, from wall
mounted reliefs to small scale works and human sized forms.
The exhibition is a significant testament to a vision that
remains contemporary through its enduring capacity to speak
across generations, moments, and histories – a rare convergence
of legacy and continuity.

Artwork in Focus
Manu Parekh’s Banaras series
stands among his most powerful
explorations of place and feeling.
Born from his first visit to the
holy city after his father’s death,
these works capture the striking
contradictions that define
Banaras—where faith coexists
with fear, devotion with
uncertainty, and life with the
constant presence of death. His
compositions balance dark,
looming forms of temples and
trees with vivid bursts of
colour—crimson, lemon yellow,
blue, and ochre—reflecting the
city’s blend of melancholy and
exuberance. Instead of depicting
its people, he focuses on the city
itself as a restless, living force.
Through this interplay of darkness
and luminosity, chaos and beauty,
Parekh’s Banaras series has
become one of his most iconic
and enduring bodies of work.
DECEMBER 10 – 16, 2025
Antarang Art Gallery launched the Artist
Spotlight series, an initiative dedicated to
promoting emerging and unsung talent
within the Indian art scene. These will be a
part of monthly exhibitions showcased at
the Camellias Clubhouse to bring art
directly into the social spaces of the
community.
The inaugural edition spotlights Sripriya Mozumdar, a self-taught Indian artist,
known for her slow, handcrafted realism. Her work blends European techniques with
Indian cultural symbolism, drawing inspiration from masters such as Raja Ravi
Varma, Willem Heda, and Ralph Goings. Each of her oil paintings is built through
multiple layered stages, often taking over 200 hours. Sripriya's still-life paintings
elevate everyday Indian objects, revealing their deeper cultural and emotional
significance. Through these carefully chosen elements, she chronicles contemporary
Indian life and transforms the commonplace into narratives of identity and meaning.
Artist Spotlight at
The Camellias Clubhouse
This exhibition brings together works by modern and contemporary artists to trace the
evolving landscape of South Asian art. Shown in dialogue, the pieces reveal continuities of
vision, departures in form, and shifting concerns across generations. Such changes in artistic
style are important cultural indicators, reflecting evolving societal values, political shifts, and
global influences that redefine identities. Artistic innovation can be important for a society to
process, critique, and document its own transformation. Together, these works illuminate how
ideas, materials, and expressions unfold over time—offering an intergenerational view of the
dynamic interplay between legacy and experimentation.
The artists on view include Krishen Khanna, F.N. Souza, Jatin Das, Manu Parekh, Sunil Das,
K.S. Radhaksirhnan, Arpana Caur, Seema Kohli, Satish Gupta, and Ramesh Gorjala.
The show opened with a preview for the DLF Golf Links community, which proved to be a
lively evening of dialogue and engagement
