Art News: Flux/Resonance at Visual Arts Gallery, Nov 7-11, 2025

Flux/Resonance

Curated by Nalini S Malaviya

Sonali Bose Chasm I

The exhibition Flux/Resonance brings together ten contemporary artists—Biswa Basu, Kantha Reddy, Malay Saha, Naba Kumar Chakraborty, Nandesha Shantiprakash, Partho Chatterjee, Rathin Kanji, Shridhar Iyer, Sonali Bose, and Yusuf—whose works respond to the currency of our times through a conceptual lens. Curated by Nalini S Malaviya, the show interrogates the cyclical nature of decay and renewal, offering a visual and philosophical inquiry into the elements that shape our urban and emotional landscapes.

Malaviya frames the exhibition around the paradox of collapse and regeneration. “The narrative of decay is a complex process involving degeneration and collapse, while simultaneously establishing the framework for the rejuvenation and re-emergence of newer constructs,” she writes in the curatorial note. The artists delve into this dynamic interplay—flux and resonance—as a metaphor for existence, exploring transformation, incoherence, and the tensions embedded in the built environment.

                                                     

The exhibition navigates the metamorphosis of urban life, probing the interconnectedness between human experience and the cityscape. Themes of technological proliferation, media saturation, and consumerist culture emerge as critical touchpoints, where each artist brings a distinct voice to this collective interrogation.

Biswa Basu deploys abstraction to depict societal disorder, chaos and emotional fragmentation. S. Kantha Reddy fuses mythology, nature, and temporal abstraction in sculptural forms drawn from everyday encounters, while establishing linkages to the past. Malay Saha examines spatial relationships and tensions between objects and human presence in urban settings.

Naba Kumar Chakraborty critiques the proliferative nature of technology and its role in influencing instant gratification. Nandesha Shanti Prakash reflects on the evolving relationship between selfhood and social purpose in contemporary life, and the oscillating nature of life and traits such as resilience. Partho Chatterjee explores chromatic and geometric dialogues between humans and their urban habitats, and the effect of design on these associations.

Rathin Kanji confronts the contradictions of progress—juxtaposing innovation with ecological and cultural decline. Shridhar Iyer captures the cosmic and terrestrial dualities through chaotic yet interconnected visual narratives. Sonali Bose exposes the paradox of digital intimacy versus emotional isolation in her mixed media works. Yusuf offers minimal, metaphor-rich compositions that evoke the psychological terrain of human emotion.

Flux/Resonance offers a space to contemplate on impermanence, contradiction, and the layered complexity of contemporary existence. Through varied visual vocabularies, the artists articulate the chaos and lucidity that define our lived realities, inviting viewers to engage with the subtle interludes of resonance that punctuate the flux of life.


Flux/Resonance featuring paintings, mixed media and sculptural works will be held from November 7-11, at Visual Arts Gallery at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi.
