Third Consecutive Year at India Art Fair
Gallery Dotwalk has announced its participation in the 2026 edition of the India Art Fair, scheduled from February 5th to 8th, 2026. Marking its third consecutive year at the prestigious fair, the gallery will present a curated showcase of seven artists at Booth K06.
A Synthesis of Materiality and Contemporary Luminosity
This year’s presentation brings together works that bridge regional narratives with global contemporary aesthetics. From monumental fabric paintings to intricate bronze sculptures, the booth explores themes of landscapes, vernacular histories, and embedded cultural memory through diverse mediums.
Building on a Strong Legacy
Gallery Dotwalk’s participation follows a successful previous edition where works by artists such as Amjum Rizve, Priyaranjan Purkait, Abdulla PA, and Chandrasekhar Koteshwar drew significant attention. Over the past four years, Dotwalk has expanded beyond the traditional gallery model into Dotwalk Productions and the Dotwalk Ajitara Art Residency.
Spotlight on Emerging Voices and Senior Masters
The 2026 showcase highlights both represented artists and senior associates who share a long-standing relationship with the gallery. The curatorial focus remains on evolution, intimacy, and process-driven contemporary narratives.
Mehak Garg and the Architecture of Light
Among the featured artists, Mehak Garg debuts a new series of small-scale paintings that transform domestic interiors into ethereal spaces. Her practice emphasizes light and luminosity, inviting viewers into quiet moments of intimacy.
Chandrasekhar Koteshwar’s New Bronze Series
Chandrasekhar Koteshwar introduces a fresh body of bronze sculptures, marking a sophisticated evolution from his terracotta practice. The works explore tension between weight and fluidity while translating organic sensibilities into enduring bronze form.
