Iram Art Gallery

Iram Art Gallery Art Gallery in Ahmedabad. Iram Art is a private initiative that is actively engaged in promoting Contemporary Indian Art.

We aim to fill the lacunae between the vibrant contemporary art scene in the country and the need for a platform that engages art lovers, especially in Gujarat. Founded in 2007 by Harssh Shah, Iram Art brings together India’s finest established and upcoming artists, all of whom are reflective of the sheer range and diversity of the modern and contemporary Indian art practise. Mr Shah, a second-gen

eration entrepreneur based in Ahmedabad, brings his passion and knowledge of the arts to Iram Art. Focused on bringing global standards to the art scene in the state, Iram Art was conceived to make the reach to contemporary art, convenient and instantaneous. Amid rising general awareness and interest in Indian contemporary art, Frangipani art combines a passion and knowledge of Indian art with the need to bring art within market reach. Through exhibition programs and an online presence, Iram Art intends to make the reach to Indian contemporary art, simple and instantaneous. Our website is aimed at making the art market more transparent and efficient, and pass on the monetary benefits of the online model to collectors and artists. Our strict screening process including qualifications, consistency and quality of work has equipped us with a diverse and rich portfolio of emerging artists who will shape the Indian art scene in the future. You will find India’s most talked-about artists at Iram Art, and you will also find a vast array of budding masters, whose works are reflective of the sheer diversity and talent of the modern and contemporary art practise. In addition to advancing art in the private arena, we are dedicated to increasing the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of Indian Modern and Contemporary art. We want to understand our audiences better, to improve the quality of their experience, as well as further the contribution of the visual arts, through the shows we organise and the artists we are associated with.

Being Alive placed contemporary art inside a longer conversation on anthropology, agency and ecological life.

The exhibition text moves through Franz Boas, Claude Levi-Strauss, Alfred Gell, Howard Morphy, Tim Ingold and Anna Tsing, building a framework where artworks are read through cultural context, symbolic systems, object agency, indigenous knowledge, making processes and multispecies entanglement.

The exhibition remains useful as a vocabulary for looking: cultural hybridity, ecological concern, object relations, identity politics and the Anthropocene. The artwork becomes part of a larger question about how humans, materials, images and environments produce meaning together.

Dr Sangeeta Sandrasegar's visual language engages with postcolonial subjectivity, migration, homelands and marginal identity.

Her research-based practice builds narratives across projects, using cut, silhouette, projection, opacity and partial disclosure to give form to unstable presence. Her PhD at the Victorian College of the Arts and the Australian Centre formalised shadow as a theoretical tool for postcolonial studies and hybridity theory.

The image performs a precise kind of political work. The body appears through conditions of withholding, fragmentation and return. In works such as On the field of truth on the battlefield III, truth and conflict are carried through form, restraint and visual poetics.

A private viewing creates a different tempo for a work.

The gallery room allows scale, surface, condition, distance, light and placement to gather slowly. A work can be read through material presence, chronology, documentation, exhibition history and relation to other works in the room.

Public images can introduce a work; the fuller reading often begins in front of it, where proportion, silence and conversation remain available to the eye.

Sacred Cipher sees Rakesh Patel's practice as a movement across paper, wood and steel.

On paper, yantra-like geometries appear as compact fields of black, grey and charged colour. In wood, geometry gains depth through carpentry fragments, rods, spindles and distressed surfaces. In corten steel, the language expands into rusting planes and intersecting arcs that hold outdoor scale.

The exhibition's central intelligence lies in how a code changes body across media. A drawing becomes a shrine-scaled relief. A relief becomes a civic structure. The cipher expands from surface into space.

Promiti Hossain's series titles hold a geography of making: Jamdani series, Bengal series, Memorabilia series, Vijaynagar (Hampi) series, Mahanagar and The lines in between.

Together, they move through Dhaka, Bengal, Santiniketan, Hampi and the modern city through handloom intelligence, ruin, memory, private record and urban pressure.

Jamdani brings a precise material history into this field. Its labour appears through line, repetition, interruption and the slow visibility of the handmade. Her Kala Bhavana training places the practice within a South Asian pedagogical field shaped by environment, craft intelligence and the image as lived surface.

In Frame 1: Mahanagar, 2025

Rakesh’s work began as a means of establishing a relationship with oneself and the holy. Coming from a farming family, as a boy, he was always drawn to the idea of working with his hands and natural materials. At the same time, while he saw the craft communities in his area, he was intrigued about how craftsmen worked with materials.

Rakesh uses discarded wooden objects from flea markets to create art. He collects the excess wooden blocks from artisans, assembles and creates a courtyard/altar, this courtyard/altar is a reflection of self and the culture that he belongs to... be it the temple architecture, or the vibrant colours the texture, even the fragrance has a major impact on his work as he tries to incorporate them in his work.

He collaborates with a small community of woodworkers as a part of his creative process. Every part of his creative process is driven by extensive research into the philosophy of his practice. This is reflected in his drive to understand the mathematics and metaphysics of temple structures, material understanding and depth of research of wood, and woodworking traditions.
The works reminds one of a quote by Wassily Kandinsky from his book ‘Concerning the Spiritual in Art’, “The spiritual life, to which art belongs and of which she is one of the mightiest elements, is a complicated but definite and easily definable movement forwards and upwards. This movement is the movement of experience. It may take different forms, but it holds at bottom to the same inner thought and purpose.” Booth E04, India Art Fair
