One year ago, we opened our doors in New Delhi with sabr, ghar, suroor, Hanif Kureshi’s first solo exhibition in India, on the occasion of his birth anniversary. 

Since then, we’ve hosted six exhibitions, countless conversations, art nights that ran late, and a Defence Colony neighbourhood that became home. Thank you to every artist who trusted us with their work, and to everyone who walked in, stayed a while, and kept coming back. The love you’ve shown this space has meant everything.

Here’s to many more years of making art feel a little more accessible and many more conversations 🤍

Made during his residency at Chandraangan, 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘜𝘥𝘢𝘪𝘱𝘶𝘳 draws its palette from the peacocks that moved through the residency grounds as Bikash would collect their fallen feathers and keep them close, letting their colour settle into his eye before it reached the paper. That same attention turned outward to the plateaus and hills of Rajasthan, where colour reveals itself not as a single tone but as variety within the land itself.

The work also carries what he witnessed: the colours found in textures during visits to marble mining sites, where the cut face of a hill laid open forms that were held inside the rock, unseen until the cutting revealed them.

𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘜𝘥𝘢𝘪𝘱𝘶𝘳, then, is less a single palette than a gathering of them: feather, hill, procession, and stone, each contributing its own register of colour to the work.

Join us for a conversation during the ongoing show titled Kya nadi ke paar sukoon hai?, a solo exhibition by Bikash Chandra Senapati. We are bringing together Jagan Shah (Architect and Urbanist), Martand Khosla (Artist and Architect), Misha Bains (Fair Director and Curator of India Design ID) and Arjun Bahl (Co-Founder of St+art India Foundation and Gallery XXL) for a conversation titled ‘The City as Archive: Ecologies of Memory, Making and the Built World.’

The discussion reflects on how cities hold memory in their buildings, green spaces, disappearing ecologies, and the marks left by those who have moved through them. Spanning architecture, urban planning, design and curation, the conversation asks: how do our cities archive the living world? And as landscapes transform, what is the responsibility of those who build, make, collect and bear witness?

Time : 5.30pm onwards
Date : Thursday, October 15
Location : Gallery XXL

Pen and watercolour on paper
30 x 22 in each

Made during a residency at Space Studio, Bombay, where Bikash spent time among the city’s spiritual caves and came across a dry tree set against colourful surroundings. These two works are a visual expression of environmental degradation through the act of mark-making — the trees featured are not literal depictions but gestural forms born from repetitive, intuitive strokes. Each mark accumulates to reveal the presence of life once rooted in harmony with its surroundings, while the absence of a defined setting emphasizes the loss of identity in natural spaces affected by ecological imbalance. Through abstraction, the works invite viewers to reflect on disappearing landscapes and the silent erosion of nature’s essence.

नदिया के पार (Across the River)
A conversation with Bikash Chandra Senapati and Paribartana Mohanty

Join us at Gallery XXL for a conversation with artists Bikash Chandra Senapati and Paribartana Mohanty, in relation to Bikash’s solo exhibition, 𝘒𝘺𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘥𝘪 𝘬𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘢𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘬𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘪?, as they dive deeper into their research of Kendrapara, Odisha where Bikash grew up.

Bikash Chandra Senapati completed a BFA in Painting from Chitra Kala Parisath, Bengaluru, and an MFA in Printmaking from Indira Kala Sangeet Vishwavidyalaya, Khairagarh. He works from memory rather than record, neither sketching nor photographing beforehand, and now lives and works in Vadodara.

Paribartana Mohanty is a multimedia artist, primarily working with video, performance lectures and painting. His recent work explores and speculates on the new environment-disaster-landscapes emerging near the coast of the Bay of Bengal in Odisha, and the impact of recurring cyclones, tsunamis and land erosion on marginal coastal communities.

📆 Sunday, October 11, 2026
🕐 5:30 PM onwards

Made during Bikash Chandra Senapati’s residency at Chandraangan in Udaipur, 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘜𝘥𝘢𝘪𝘱𝘶𝘳 draws its palette from the peacocks that moved through the residency grounds. The artist would collect their fallen feathers and keep them close, letting their colour settle into his eye before it reached the paper. That same attention turned outward to the city itself: the plateaus and hills of Rajasthan, where colour revealed itself not as a single tone but as variety within the land, and the water systems, where colour shifted again with the light moving across the lakes.

Colour, here, also became texture. Visible at the marble mining sites he visited, where the cut face of a hill exposed forms that had been hidden inside the rock, invisible until then.

Carving Lines
A Woodcutting Workshop with Bikash Chandra Senapati 🪵

Join us at Gallery XXL for Carving Lines, a woodcutting workshop with artist Bikash Chandra Senapati, whose solo exhibition, 𝘒𝘺𝘢 𝘯𝘢𝘥𝘪 𝘬𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘢𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘬𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘪?, is currently on display, presenting woodcuts, acrylic on canvas, pen on paper, and etchings.

Trained in printmaking at Indira Kala Sangeet Vishwavidyalaya, Khairagarh, Bikash will facilitate the workshop.

Participants will begin by creating or choosing an image to work with, which will then be transferred onto an A4 MDF woodblock. With guidance from Bikash, participants will learn how to carve the surface of the block, understanding how the marks and spaces they create will translate onto the final print.

The session offers an opportunity to experience the process behind a woodcut: from developing an image and carving the block, to inking and making the final print.

🎟️ : ₹1350 per participant
📆 : Sunday, October 11, 2026
🕐 : 10am onwards
📍 : Gallery XXL, A-277, Defence Colony, New Delhi, Delhi-110024

*All materials will be provided at the venue
*Please note there is limited parking available at the gallery; we recommend using public transport

Edition 4 of 5

Made during Bikash’s college years, at a time when most students around him worked in black and white and colour was rarely explored. He began working with it slowly, and it soon became a defining part of his practice: as seen here, with greens and reds pressing through a dark ground, the vines and forms held close together on the page.
