Everything I Waited to Forget: A Solo Show by Km. Khushboo
2025-11-01 11:00 - 2025-11-29 18:00 (Asia/Kolkata) | 227, South Point Mall, Golf Course Road, Gurugram, India
Art Incept is delighted to announce Everything I Waited to Forget, a solo exhibition by Km. Khushboo, Design and Edit by Prima Kurien. The exhibition brings together a body of prints that reflect her meditative engagement with life, death, and transformation.

Khushboo’s visual language emerges from rhythm and repetition—each mark a quiet invocation. Her practice, which began as an exploration of mortality, has evolved into a search for renewal and transcendence. Moving from figural forms to abstraction, her works dissolve the boundaries between form and formlessness, inviting viewers to encounter moments of stillness and revelation.

Drawing upon elemental symbols of mud, water, and fire, Khushboo’s works embody the cyclical nature of creation and dissolution. Through a sensitive interplay of text, image, and incision, she transforms printmaking into an act of release—where every etched line becomes both a memory and a letting go.

Everything I Waited to Forget invites audiences to pause, reflect, and experience how image and silence, remembering and forgetting, coexist within the same breath.

About the Artist:
Born in 2001 in Uttar Pradesh, Khushboo holds a Bachelor’s degree in Painting from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, and a Master’s degree in Printmaking from the Department of Graphic Arts, Faculty of Fine Arts, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Gujarat.

Grounded in self-expression, her work evolves from personal experiences and intuitive responses to the world around her, delving into its spiritual and philosophical dimensions. What began as an exploration of death as the ultimate truth has grown into a deeper contemplation of transformation, transience, and renewal. Drawing and Printmaking—especially etching, drypoint, and woodcut—has become a meditative space for her. Each mark and layer embodies both presence and release, turning process into reflection.

Through her engagement with text and image, Khushboo explores acts of leaving, releasing, and accepting—embracing both wholeness and fragments while remaining open to change. Her work has been presented in several national and international exhibitions, including Voices from India in Cincinnati (USA), Nabh Sparsh at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Delhi and Mumbai, At Crossroads during the Tapi Festival in Surat, Without Cube at the MSU Fine Arts Faculty Gallery, Incept in Baroda at Art Incept in Gurugram, and the CIMA Awards Show 2025 in Kolkata.

She has been recognized with the Jeram Patel Award (2024) and the Manorama Young Printmakers Grant (2025). Through these evolving experiences, Khushboo continues to deepen her understanding of the visible and the invisible—each work becoming a quiet meditation on impermanence, memory, and transformation.

Art Incept at Art Mumbai 2025Booth C45 | Mahalaxmi Racecourse, Mumbai | 13–16 November 2025
Marking Art Incept’s debut at Art Mumbai, this presentation brings together a compelling selection of voices from across South Asia — artists whose practices navigate memory, landscape, identity, and transformation through deeply personal vocabularies. United by a spirit of introspection and experimentation, their works expand the language of contemporary art, moving fluidly between material, emotion, and philosophy.
From the meditative charcoal drawings of Badush Babu and Bedamati Majhi, to the lyrical abstractions of Pankaj Chouhan, and the delicate indigo renderings of memory by Jit Chowdhury, the exhibition reveals how form can become a vessel for reflection. Debajit R Paul’s poetic landscapes and Sanal PT’s layered narratives on history and resistance explore the porous boundaries between the real and the remembered. Parul Sharma’s brick-dust paintings evoke the density of urban life, while Rinku Choudhary’s intimate figurations dwell in the silences of domesticity.
The presentation also highlights sculptural and conceptual explorations — Kishwar Kiani’s stainless-steel constructions reimagine space as rhythm and structure, Sunil Yadav visualizes the invisible frequencies of sound, and Ram Dongre channels memory and impermanence through a dialogue of erasure and colour.
Together, these artists articulate the pulse of a generation shaped by transition — their works standing as meditations on solitude, resilience, and the quiet persistence of the human spirit.

The Body Speaks
2025-12-05 11:00 - 2026-01-10 18:30 | 227, South Point Mall, Golf Course Road, Gurugram, India
Curated by Rahul Kumar, the exhibition explores the human body’s ability to convey emotions, stories, and ideas through works that present the body as a canvas, a vessel, and a voice, highlighting its complexities and vulnerabilities. Artists presented here examine the figure as an emotional landscape, aiming to reveal inner worlds through expressive forms or narratives, and to reference the role of the body in shaping identity, culture, and personal stories. They express vulnerability or strength through the body’s fragility and resilience. The body is also used as a metaphor to symbolise the universality of human experiences.
To approach the human body in visual arts is to enter an ancient and ever-renewing conversation, a dialogue between flesh and form, between the visible outline and the invisible interiority it contains. The body is our first landscape, the terrain through which we encounter the world, and the vessel through which the world encounters us. Artists return to it not merely to depict but to decipher, to understand what it means to inhabit a body, to move through space, to desire, to ache, to age, to transform. In every gesture, the body holds memory. Every contour carries the imprint of time, labour, joy, and grief. An artist listens to these traces, translating them into line, shadow, and texture. In this act of observation, the body becomes more than its anatomy; it becomes a metaphor for vulnerability, resilience, longing, and the fragile boundary between self and other.
Across centuries, the body has been celebrated, idealised, scrutinised, abstracted, broken apart, and rebuilt. Yet its mystery remains intact. Even in its simplest forms, a curve of a shoulder, the turn of a neck, it offers an entire universe of emotion. To study the body is to study humanity itself: its contradictions, its tenderness, its complications. In contemporary practice, the body expands further. It becomes political, technological, hybrid, fragmented, or fluid. It becomes a site of questioning – what does it mean to belong? To be seen? To be free?

The world as we meet it
2026-02-03 08:00 - 2026-03-07 17:00 | The Edit by Art Incept, S-137 Panchsheel Park, New Delhi 110017
This exhibition gathers emerging artists at the edge of the present moment, where life feels unresolved, and the environment is in flux. It is a record of encounters between bodies and borders, memory and momentum, solitude and shared unrest. These works arise from living inside complexity rather than observing it from a distance. The explorations include a response to the contemporary world that churns, identities shift, histories overlap, and technologies blur the intimate and the public. The artists respond not with neat conclusions, but with fragments and gestures. More often leaving the viewers with questions than answers. Images in the works fracture, reassemble, and contradict. A sense of belonging sits adjacent to alienation. Yet there is hope and resilience.

A common thread binding the various practices is the rawness of the emotions expressed, all drawn from lived or immediate personal lives. Socio-cultural forces make each work a site of reckoning, where individual experience collides with collective history, and meaning is negotiated rather than declared.

The world as we meet it invites viewers to stand inside uncertainty, to recognize themselves in unfinished forms.

What We Carry | Curated by Khushboo Jain
2026-02-03 11:00 - 2026-02-20 18:00 | 227, South Point Mall, Golf Course Road, Gurugram, India
What truly gathers us, holding us in a profound, quiet space of belonging?
Is it the simple communion of shared meals, the comforting resonance of sustained silences, or the deep-seated familiarity of gestures repeated until they become an unconscious habit? The graceful passing of a bowl, the mindful laying of a cloth, the symbolic breaking of bread, the patient anticipation for someone yet to arrive? Do these seemingly small, humble acts incrementally build the very world we inhabit, and if so, when do we begin to inadvertently diminish their immense weight, their foundational importance?
This exhibition prompts us to consider why we often diminish the foundational importance of these small, humble acts. It questions the objects and unspoken agreements we place between us. It suggests that the truest essence of communion is not a perfectly resolved state, but rather an uneven journey marked by hesitations, misalignments, and powerful pauses. It interrogates the inherent fragility of this delicate communion and the enduring human imperative that compels us to seek its reassuring embrace despite its vulnerability. By bringing together artists whose works tenderly explore these spaces of coming together,
“What We Carry” encourages viewers to reflect on what we consciously choose to place between us, shaping our relationships and shared experiences.
The concept of gathering unfolds in a multitude of ways throughout the exhibition, showcasing works that evoke cherished rituals of assembly, where belonging is meticulously rehearsed through shared food, labor, and time. Conversely, other pieces thoughtfully turn towards absence, addressing unfinished conversations, empty rooms, and objects that bear the poignant imprint of those no longer physically present. In these instances, communion is tenderly formed through memory, assembling fragments of people, places, and moments that may not coexist in the immediate present but continue to powerfully shape and enrich our
current realities.
As part of this inquiry, the exhibition also turns to the practice of miniature painting. Traditionally shaped by stylised methods of learning and making, it is a form built slowly through layers of pigment and surface. Miniature painting has long been a shared pursuit, with masters and disciples working side by side, exchanging skill and space, shaping a sense of community through practice. This exhibition opens that process by showing not only finished images but also studies, fragments, and technical stages that reveal the many layers of the form. In doing so, it becomes another kind of communion, between artists and traditions.
In a world marked by distance, the showcase reminds us of the small acts that connect us. It realises us of a communion not only about who is present but also who is remembered, imagined, or longed for. It is about what we hold together and what we risk losing if we do not.

Art Incept at India Art Fair 2026 | Booth F05
2026-02-05 11:00 - 2026-02-08 18:00 | NSIC Exhibition Complex, Okhla Phase III, Okhla Industrial Estate, New Delhi, India
Art Incept presents its curated presentation at India Art Fair 2026, bringing together a dynamic group of contemporary artists whose practices engage deeply with questions of environment, memory, labour, and everyday lived experience. Spanning painting, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking, the presentation foregrounds material as a carrier of history—surfaces marked by erosion, accumulation, and transformation. Rather than proposing a singular theme, the works reflect diverse yet interconnected responses to urban density, ecological precarity, domestic spaces, and personal histories, inviting viewers to encounter the quiet tensions embedded in contemporary life.
Featuring Abhishek Dodiya, Deepanjali Shekhar, Parul Sharma, Rajat Kumar, Ram Dongre, Rinku Choudhary, Santanu Dey, Satyanarayana Gavara, and Sunil Yadav. From Dodiya’s sculptural reflections on overdevelopment and climate anxiety, Gavara’s woodcut prints rooted in agrarian realities, and Sharma’s material investigations of urban pollution, to Dongre’s layered meditations on labour and memory and Shekhar’s intimate explorations of the body and nature, each practice articulates a distinct yet resonant position. Together, the artists offer a nuanced portrait of contemporary India—where personal narratives intersect with larger social, environmental, and psychological landscapes.

Diaries, Soliloquies and Stories we Tell | Curated by Prima Kurien
2026-03-07 11:00 - 2026-03-26 18:00 | The Edit by Art Incept, S-137 Panchsheel Park, New Delhi 110017
Art Incept is excited to announce its upcoming exhibition Diaries, Soliloquies and Stories we Tell, Curated by Prima Kurien. Showcasing the works of Ariba Akhlaque, Anirudh Acharya, Nanini Bagla Chirimar, Rajat Kumar and Rinku Choudhary

This exhibition inhabits the fragile threshold between remembrance and loss; a consciousness suspended, shaped by cultural inheritance, personal memory, and the quiet pressures of the social world. Within this space of in-betweenness, identity is neither fixed nor entirely unmoored; it flickers, like light passing through gauze. The works assembled here arise from that tremor. They gather what remains—a dried rose pressed between pages, an old postcard bearing a fading script, a broken tile salvaged from a once-familiar floor—and elevate these fragments into tender archives. Through such objects, grief and celebration become indistinguishable dialects within the same language of nostalgia.
‘
Here, painting is a pulse, felt with an emotion where the mundane is not overlooked but revered: a corner of a room, a threshold at dusk, the silence that lingers after departure. Atmosphere, here, becomes the protagonist. Landscapes emerge untethered to geography: tidal gardens suspended in indigo twilight, stairways rising into improbable skies, rooms that open into dreamlike horizons; utopian niches carved from longing—places one builds in order to dwell again. In them, memory bends toward myth, and loss seeds possibility.
The gentle, ever-shifting rhythm of daily life flows throughout. A woman moves through her home both as inhabitant and witness, her gestures overlapping like translucent veils. Tasks dissolve into thoughts; chaos softens into choreography. Rather than resisting fragmentation, she adapts, absorbs, and occasionally rejoices in it. Becoming, in the end, is a surreal and intimate labour—an act of rewriting the self as landscape, of fashioning shelter from memory and imagination alike. Between what was and what might be, a new interior opens: porous, luminous, and profoundly alive.

Emergence II builds on the spirit of the first edition but moves closer to the pulse of our time. If Emergence was about introducing young collectors to emerging practices, Emergence II is about listening more deeply to the artists themselves— to voices shaped by lived experience, vulnerability, labour, memory, and place.
At Art Incept, we believe that some of the most compelling contemporary practices today are not loud or spectacular, but quietly insistent, deeply personal, and profoundly honest. Emergence II brings together a selection of emerging artists whose works carry this sensitivity—practices thats peak of the everyday, the overlooked, and the intimate realities that often sit outside dominant art narratives. This exhibition foregrounds art that israw rather than polished, rooted rather than performative. These are artists who work from within their contexts — responding to social structures, inherited histories, personal negotiations, and shifting identities. Through varied materials and processes, the works reveal how contemporary
realities are felt, remembered, and lived.
For collectors — especially those at the beginning of their journey —Emergence II offers an opportunity to engage with art not as an object of prestige, but as a relationship. Emergence II is both a continuation and a shift—from introduction to intention, from visibility to voice. It is a space where emerging artists are not framed by promise alone, but by the depth, honesty, and urgency of their practice.
