Opening Reception

FRIEZE No. 9 Cork Street

Vadehra Art Gallery returns to FRIEZE No. 9 Cork Street in June 2026 with a solo exhibition titled A Singular Modernist, featuring drawings, paintings and sculptures by the renowned Indian artist A. Ramachandran. The show opens on Wednesday, 3 June 2026 and will be on view until Saturday, 4 July 2026.
As a painter, Ramachandran is celebrated for the public scale of his murals and canvases, whose ambitious compositions unfold as flattened microcosms of colour and gesture. His drawings, by contrast, often read as diaristic excursions of self-discovery that distill the immensity of the world into an intimate and retrievable vocabulary. His sculptures engage tribal, folk and classical lineages within Indian art, fusing the animism of the natural world with the rhythms of village life and its people. This exhibition brings together a curated body of work, including paintings from his 1980s Puppet Theatre series alongside later canvases and drawings as well as sculptures that illuminate the enduring significance of Rajasthan in Ramachandran’s life and artistic imagination.
