Artisera presents Aksharscape, a solo exhibition of contemporary calligraphy by Nikheel Aphale at Bikaner House, New Delhi. Anchored in the Devanagari script, Aksharscape is a conceptual landscape of letters, where text surpasses its linguistic purpose to become a powerful form of self-expression. Through evocative, abstract compositions, Nikheel explores themes of divinity, mythological stories, spiritual prayers, and the nuances of humanity — from coexistence and inclusivity to unity and equality. His striking, predominantly black-and-white compositions, crafted using materials like ink, acrylic, watercolours, and unconventional tools (toothbrushes, bank cards, coconut husk), move beyond “beautiful handwriting” into a deeper, more introspective space — where gesture, texture, and movement allow the script to speak in entirely new ways.
