Baroda-based artist Shrimanti Saha will present her second solo exhibition Among Things That Grow and Return at Vadehra Art Gallery, Defence Colony, from October 4 to November 1. The gallery will be open Monday to Saturday, 10 AM to 6 PM.
Following her 2023 solo show at the gallery, Saha returns with a substantial new body of work comprising large-scale oil paintings—some extending up to 7.5 feet—alongside 11 smaller, more autobiographical pieces. The exhibition marks a significant evolution in her practice, with a focus on immersive narrative worlds that fuse personal memory, mythology, and contemporary cultural references.
Saha’s paintings blend memory, literary narratives, and historical and contemporary references to explore ecology, gender, identity, and human experience. Organic forms, fragmented architecture, and symbolic characters populate her worlds, where real and imagined spaces converge.
“My work builds partially fictional worlds with storytelling at its core,” Saha explains. “The ideas of ‘grow’ and ‘return’ reflect cycles of life, decay, memory, and reflection, linking imagery across scale and narrative.”

Former Tate Modern curator Beatriz Cifuentes Feliciano observes that the move to oil has added “painterly depth and a sensorial richness to her immersive environments.”
