Forms of Modernity
Forms of Modernity explores the many ways Indian artists reimagined form, perception, and experience through shifting visual languages. Moving across realism, structural figuration, abstraction, expression, and folk-inflected practices, the exhibition brings together works that reflect changing ways of seeing and making. Rather than presenting modernity as a single style or moment, it reveals a layered process shaped by observation, memory, imagination, and lived experience.
