| Marwahs Art Gallery Presents Parallel Realities |
New Delhi | July 2026: Marwahs Art Gallery successfully concluded Parallel Realities, a thoughtfully curated group exhibition that brought together the works of eleven contemporary artists at the Main Art Gallery, Bikaner House, New Delhi. Held from 9th to 13th July 2026, the exhibition invited audiences to engage with ideas that exist between the visible and the invisible, the tangible and the imagined, offering an immersive exploration of multiple perspectives and layered realities.
Curated by Yuvraj Marwah, Director of Marwahs Art Gallery, Parallel Realities featured works by George Martin, Pratul Dash, Tauseef Khan, Mukesh Sharma, Bandana Kumari, Govind Vishwas, Harish Ojha, Sonal Varshneya, Sheikh Hifzul Kabeer, Tapan Dash, and Jagmohan Bangani. While distinct in their artistic languages, each artist contributed to a shared dialogue around perception, memory, materiality and the complexities that exist beneath surface appearances.
Rather than focusing on stylistic similarities, the exhibition explored how contemporary artists approach recurring dualities. What is seen and what remains hidden, what is experienced externally and what is felt internally. Through figuration, abstraction, symbolism and material exploration, the works encouraged viewers to look beyond first impressions and discover meanings that unfold gradually with time.
Speaking about the curatorial vision behind the exhibition, Yuvraj Marwah explained that the idea emerged from recognising a recurring thread across the participating artists’ practices. While each artist approached their work through a distinct visual language, they collectively examined the space between reality and imagination, embracing contradictions instead of resolving them. The exhibition invited audiences to slow down, observe closely, and acknowledge that what remains unseen can often be as significant as what is immediately visible.
The exhibition’s preview, held on 11th July, witnessed an enthusiastic response, with over 150 attendees, including artists, curators, collectors, influencers and art enthusiasts. Throughout its five-day run, Parallel Realities received an overwhelmingly positive public response, drawing visitors into conversations around contemporary artistic practice and the many ways in which art can reshape perception.
By creating a space where multiple truths could coexist, Parallel Realities reflected Marwahs Art Gallery’s continued commitment to presenting exhibitions that encourage meaningful engagement with contemporary art while supporting diverse artistic voices from across the country.
