Tao Art Gallery, Mumbai, is set to host an intellectually resonant and visually captivating joint exhibition, ‘Systems, Silhouettes, Synchronicities,’ featuring the works of abstract artists Isha Pimpalkhare and Anni Kumari. Opening on November 8, 2025, and running until December 20, 2025, the exhibition displays the natural, mathematical, psychological, and cosmic elements that shape the world we inhabit. Curated by Sanjana Shah, Creative Director at Tao Art Gallery, the exhibition showcases the convergence of two distinct artistic voices on a single platform. The resulting show is a beautiful presentation of abstract compositions, noting a balanced composition of geometric precision with artistic fluidity, representing harmony amidst chaos.
The Experience & The Artists
The artworks of both artists are rooted in the notion that the world is constructed through patterns, some visible, others undetectable unless one chooses to look beyond surface appearances. Their mode of expression differs significantly, yet they have exquisitely complemented each other almost flawlessly.
For Isha, her art emerges from the soft, breathing pulse of the naturalistic world. Her textile-based artistic practice deals with the balance and interdependence of the reciprocative relationship between humans and nature. Her work is mainly based on the concept of Biophilia, i.e., humanity’s innate tendency to connect with nature and other life forms. Her rudimentary textile art technique is inspired by the age-old devoré (chemical burning of cellulosic fibres). She stitches polyester thread onto cotton fabric before treating it with acid. The cotton then gradually dissolves, leaving behind a mesh of polyester threads and fragments of unburnt cotton. This meticulous procedure represents the enduring perpetuity in rhythm. Recently, she incorporated the concept of ‘Kinetic Textile sculptures’ in which she included motors and basic coding to provide a living dimension to her artwork.
Meanwhile, Anni Kumari moves through the chambers of numbers, geometry, and algorithm-based logical niches. Her interest lies in structures that exist beneath the threshold of perception. Her knack lies in playing with optical illusions, number patterns, and cosmic sequences. Each work of hers forms a blueprint of existence in itself, displaying a unique representation of life under a coded format. Through repetitive patterns, strict grid lines, and vibrant centripetal and centrifugal etchings, Kumari symbolizes the vastness of the cosmological domain.

Takeaway
Systems, Silhouettes, Synchronicities is redefining its relationship with scientific thought and a more naturalistic fervour. This exhibition eloquently frames abstraction as a language for decoding the world. Both artists demonstrate that systems, whether ecological or mathematical, are not simple mechanisms but living entities. It dissolves the boundaries between what’s absolute and concretized and the emotional agility of humans.
