Art Explore is a contemporary art gallery founded in New Delhi in 2016. The gallery works with artists across emerging, mid career, and established stages, building a programme that is consistent, focused, and grounded in long term engagement.
The gallery represents artists whose practices are shaped by lived experience. Ideas around identity, memory, environment, and belonging run through the programme, approached with clarity and individuality. The work remains personal while holding wider relevance.
Art Explore works across painting, sculpture, installation, and mixed media. The medium follows the artist. Each exhibition is carefully structured, with works placed in dialogue to create a clear and considered viewing experience.
The programme brings together distinct practices. From layered abstraction and geometric precision to narrative driven work and material exploration, the range is intentional. It allows for diversity while maintaining a strong curatorial direction.
The gallery places importance on accessibility. It works closely with new and seasoned collectors through direct conversations and informed guidance. The aim is to build confidence, clarity, and long term engagement with contemporary art.
Beyond exhibitions, Art Explore maintains an active relationship with its artists through studio visits, discussions, and ongoing collaboration. This approach strengthens both the work and the ecosystem around it.
For an international audience, the gallery offers a focused view of contemporary practice from India. The work is rooted in its context while speaking across geographies.
Art Explore is led by founder and director Reshma Chordia, whose approach is defined by clarity, restraint, and a strong commitment to artistic practice.
Artists
Artists working through structure, memory, and lived experience. The practices move between material exploration, abstraction, and narrative, held together by a focus on process, surface, and personal context.
Abhijit Pathak
Large scale abstraction built through layers, erosion, and persistent mark making. The work holds a tension between control and chaos, where surfaces feel both constructed and weathered over time.
Vipul Kumar
Ceramic sculptures that push distortion and surface. Figures dissolve into abstraction, often left deliberately unresolved, sitting between form and breakdown.
Balasaheb Chaudhari
Relief works across metal and paper where texture leads. The surfaces are tactile and immediate, drawing the viewer into a physical, almost instinctive response.
Mangesh Rajguru
Narrative works shaped by history and contemporary life, driven by satire and sharp observation. The work carries a strong point of view and refuses passive viewing.
Rubkirat Vohra
Geometric abstraction informed by architectural thinking. Precise yet emotional, the work balances structure with an underlying sense of introspection and spiritual enquiry.
Kiyomi Talaulicar
Minimal compositions where silence holds weight. Space is used with restraint, and meaning emerges slowly through time and emotional presence.
Suchit Sahni
Metal sculptures rooted in memory and nostalgia, layered with pop culture references. The work is immediate but carries a deeper recall.
Throngkiuba Yimchungru
Works grounded in the lived realities of Nagaland, shaped by identity and environmental concerns. The strength lies in specificity and context.
Devesh Upadhyay
Figurative sculptures drawn from everyday life, marked by humour and strong presence. The work engages quickly while holding its ground.
Harpreet Narula
Abstract works built through repetition. The process creates rhythm, settling into a state of balance and quiet intensity.
Malcolm Fernandes
Works influenced by architecture, exploring spatial relationships and structure. The language is descriptive, with a strong sense of constructed space.
Preeti Singh
Narrative paintings centred on everyday life. Direct, accessible, and grounded in observation, the work connects without pretense.
