Gallerie Splash, founded in 2010 by Jinoy Payyappilly, is a contemporary art institution in Gurgaon with a sustained commitment to research-driven practice and long-term artistic and curatorial development. Its programming, anchored by the annual Curatorial Fellowship Program, is structured to support rigorous inquiry and to provide meaningful platforms for artists and curators at pivotal stages of their trajectories.

Jinoy’s professional background in the development sector and his extensive work with community-led initiatives inform the gallery’s broader cultural approach. This foundation shapes an institutional environment attentive to context, collaboration, and the continuous cultivation of artistic practice. The gallery’s vision extends across generations: it invests deeply in emerging artists, works closely with under-recognised senior practitioners to bring overdue visibility to their contributions, and maintains an engaged relationship with modern masters whose legacies continue to shape contemporary artistic discourse.

Through exhibitions, workshops, and discursive programs, Gallerie Splash nurtures critical exchange within the interstices of art, design, architecture, and material-based practices. By directing its resources toward widening access, strengthening research-focused engagement, and enabling sustained experimentation, the institution advances a more equitable, reflective, and forward-looking art ecosystem.
