A Moment in Modernity: Haren Thakur

16-25 April, 2025

Art Magnum & Gallery Time and Space, Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road, 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 will continue at Art Magnum, New Delhi, from May 4 – June 30, 2025, and at Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai, from August 5 – 11, 2025.
