Mumbai abstraction show
A new Mumbai exhibition, “Abstraction: Living Arts of India,” spotlights Goutam Ghosh and Sujata Bajaj and connects abstract vocabularies to philosophy and ‘spacescape’ thinking — a fresh moment for Indian abstraction in a city gallery circuit. Social buzz highlights the show’s cultural depth and layered influences. (x.com)
Goutam Ghosh’s solo show Bite the Bullet opened at Project 88 in Colaba on 12 March and is scheduled to run through 2 May 2026. (project88.in) The Project 88 installation deliberately resembles a transit hub — sculptures are staged against wooden crates and paintings with hieroglyph-like motifs are stitched to walls, creating makeshift display areas rather than conventional framed hangings. (livemint.com) Curatorial text by Sonali Bhagchandani frames Ghosh’s work as an interrogation of how knowledge and vision form, while the artist’s practice explicitly draws on geology, archaeology, formal mathematics and Tantra to shape line, texture and negative space. (livemint.com) Sujata Bajaj’s new “Spacescapes” body of work — a five-plus-year engagement with Hubble and James Webb telescope imagery — is part of a programme of Indian shows in Paris presented at the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Centre and reported as on view until 30 June 2026. (livemint.com) The Spacescapes series premiered in India at Galerie Romain Rolland, Alliance Française de Delhi (30 Jan–14 Feb 2026) and reviewers noted the works’ nebula-like textures and “meditations on energy” that translate scientific images into charged, emotive abstractions. (inde.francealumni.fr) Project 88’s 4,000 sq ft Colaba venue — a converted printing press that has hosted major contemporary shows — is the immediate platform for Ghosh’s intervention, while coverage in outlets from Mint to MSN and MOSA-backed Paris programming has amplified public and critical attention to both artists this season.
