Km. Khushboo’s etching on paper displayed at the London Original Print Fair, engages with the ways in which individuals make and remake boundaries around them to be able to define their own world. The frugal, sublime and gentle form of this enclosure suggests the soft and flexible nature in which it imagines containment that is bound to evolve and change. A single opening apparent on the layered surface leaves room for the other to enter or the self to depart. Yet, the tension of the space inside remains in suspense and compactly held within the architecture of the fence. Her work acknowledges how both – the location and the self – constantly make and remake each other and remain in a state of flux. - by Anuj Daga


Km. Khushboo is the Awardee of Manorama Young Printmaker Award 2025.

Unsearch Home, by Artist Nalinakshya Talukdar displayed at the London Original Print Fair 2026 at the Somerset House. Awardee of Manaorama Young Printmaker Award 2025.

Coming from Assam, Nalinakshya Talukdar imagines inhabiting nature as his home where the skies, woods and waters meet, creating multiple crevices between their thresholds to offer experiences of nature, in one’s private hiding. However, interjecting each other in colour and form, where the continuities of contours are disrupted, the artists suggest the disjunctures that modern life brings about through man made acts. Mountains fold within themselves the woods that eventually lend resources to construct modest homes. At the same time, the mountain ice melts into its rivers – an idyllic ecological landscape appears continuous yet disjunct in the artist’s prints - Anuj Daga

Moments of Being — Radha Pandey

Radha’s artist books speak to the fragility and precarity of landscapes in the face of climate change. Time is central to her work; how it shapes, erodes, and transforms land. Using imagery adapted from contour maps of major mountain ranges, including the Himalayas, the Tibetan Plateau, and the Andes, she carves shifting forms into each page.

Moments of Being — Ian Malhotra

Ian’s landscapes emerge from imagined and futuristic worlds, influenced by his journey within video games. Through hand processes that slow down image-making, his work resists speed and fixed outcomes. Layered surfaces and soft transitions suggest an internal landscape that is always evolving. Rather than depicting a single moment, the work reflects a way of being shaped gradually, intuitively, and over time.

Stay tuned as we introduce the full roster of artists.

Nalinakshya Talukdar’s work explores the complex relationship between humans and the natural world, often through the lens of decay and coexistence. He primarily works with large woodcut, building layered textures and colors inspired by his travels across India—warm tones from the arid West, and cool hues from the lush Northeast. Through mark-making and materiality, he aims to capture the subtle shifts in nature and create a dialogue between destruction, beauty, and change. A recent graduate from MSU Baroda he majorly works with relief printing techniques.
