Dhi Contemporary is delighted to showcase the works of Akhil Mohan, Arjun Das, Harun Al Rashid, Leena Raj, Poorvesh Patel, and Sumana Som at the India Art Fair, booth A07, from 1–4, February 2024.

This year, we bring together the work of six emerging contemporary artists whose works are grounded in the art of visual storytelling.

While Akhil Mohan conveys a deep connection with nature and the indigenous communities,. His work portrays the interconnectedness of all beings. Arjun Das iterates the story of workers in Kolkata’s Bara Bazar in his compositions. Harun Al Rashid's practice revisits instances from his family history, particularly the memories he shared with his grandfather. Leena Raj picks up popular proverbs from Malayalam and translates them onto her canvases. Poorvesh Patel, with the medium of rusted copper wires, goes back to his childhood stories of farming in Navsari, Gujarat, and Sumana Som stitches fragments of her personal life and history together.

Working across media, the artist’s reflect upon their socio-cultural identities to strike conversations around urbanization, migration, labor and environment, through their works.
