Cosmopoiesis (or The World in Many Verses) proposes the cosmos not as a distant abstraction, but as an intimate, living grammar through which bodies, desires, politics, and matter continuously inform one another. Across painting and animation, Sharmistha Ray’s solo exhibition advances a vision of world-making as a plural, ongoing act—one that resists singular truths, linear time, and fixed identities in favor of relation, multiplicity, and becoming. Rooted in feminist, queer, and speculative cosmologies, the exhibition imagines the universe as a field of entanglements where perception and possibility are inseparable.
The paintings from the series Interplanetary Futures and Patterns of Becoming extend Ray’s sustained engagement with cosmology and consciousness. Fusing modernist abstraction with ancient visual languages developed to render the sacred, these works treat abstraction as a tool for sensing what exceeds ordinary perception.
