Tangibles Only

Tangibles Only curated by Priyasri Patodia showcases sculptures as well as paintings by Indian masters and emerging artists, which are adapted to visually and aesthetically fit urban homes and offices. The exhibition centers on sculpturous works that are not merely decorative but used as powerful forms of artistic expression. Alongside these sculptural explorations, the exhibition also presents Tavdi paintings by various artists, shown for the first time in Mumbai.

The show focuses on Sculpture as a medium, tracing it as one of the oldest artistic languages, predating written alphabets. It highlights the ability of sculptures; be it any form: symbolic, religious or historic and across different eras; to evoke emotional responses. As the most tangible and physical form of art, it speaks to all age groups, even those unfamiliar with art.

Today, as the art market evolves, sculptures are recognized as high-value commodities. Their tactile quality and three-dimensionality build a strong connection between viewers and the artwork, making them a bridge between audiences and art critics. As public appreciation and investment grow, sculpture is regaining its place in the mainstream art world. Despite the labor, space, and material challenges, many established artists like Laxma Goud, K.G. Subramanyan, and Tyeb Mehta have turned to sculpture to realize concepts beyond the reach of painting.

Tangibles Only sets itself apart by focusing on scale and accessibility. Each work is moulded to inhabit the dimensions of modern spaces providing the collectors singular presences that carry the intimacy of touch and craftsmanship. It reminds us that sculptures are not just monumental but personal too capable of existing in our daily lives.
