‘Wild, Ordinary, Enchanting, Excruciating Beauty’: a group art exhibition

A group exhibition titled Wild, Ordinary, Enchanting, Excruciating Beauty is on view at Thapar Contemporary, New Delhi, till June 21. Curated by Vaibhav Raj Shah in collaboration with Jasone Miranda-Bilbao, the show brings together eleven contemporary artists to reflect on the blurred boundaries between personal anxiety and collective crisis.

Featuring works across sculpture, installation, drawing, and moving image, the exhibition includes artists Amitabh Kumar, Bhrigudev Ranade, Chandrashekhar Koteshwar, Harmeet Singh Rattan, Harsha Durugadda, Jagadeesh Tammineni, Madhurjya Dey, Raj Jariwala, Vanshika Babbar, Vasudha Kapadia, and Yogesh Ramkrishna. While each artist presents a distinct practice, the works collectively respond to the complexities and contradictions shaping contemporary life.

According to the organisers, the exhibition explores how lived experiences today are shaped by overlapping uncertainties, where distinctions between the personal and the political continue to collapse. Rather than resolving these tensions, the works invite closer attention and reflection on an increasingly unstable reality.

Curator Vaibhav Raj Shah notes that the exhibition emerges from a space where the boundaries between the intimate and the larger world are difficult to sustain, offering ways of seeing that remain attentive to the present moment.

When: Till June 21; 11 AM to 7 PM

Where: Thapar Contemporary, The One, Kapashera Estate, New Delhi
