A Moment in Modernity: Haren Thakur

May 4-June 30, 2025

Art Magnum, 60/2C, Sri Aurobindo Marg, New Delhi

Three Bathers, 2000, Mixed Media on Paper, 20 x 26 inches

Art Magnum and Gallery Time and Space present A Moment in Modernity, a landmark solo exhibition of works by artist Haren Thakur, curated by celebrated art historian Dr. Alka Pande. Haren Thakur is recognised as a modernist artist whose work intricately weaves together traditional tribal art forms with contemporary aesthetics. His art reflects a deep engagement with nature, life, and spirituality, often depicting themes of harmony and simplicity through a fusion of tribal and modern elements. Rather than merely preserving folk art, he transforms it, merging diverse influences in a continuous process of reinterpretation. His practice transcends conventional boundaries, resulting in a visual philosophy that embraces abstraction and reinvention while maintaining a reverence for cultural heritage.

The exhibition was previously held from April 16 to 25, at the Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi.
