Akar Prakar presents Ekāgratā, a solo show of works by the much-loved and celebrated artist S.H. Raza, at their Delhi space. For artist SH Raza, painting was an act of meditation, an immersion into colour, memory and inner knowledge. The concept of absolute concentration on a singular point of focus, Ekāgratā, was a central theme in his practice. The concept is rooted in a formative moment of his childhood, when a school teacher had asked him to fix his gaze upon a single black dot, the Bindu.
In this exhibition, Ekāgratā unfolds as a space of quiet rumination. Encouraging a gentle encounter, the works ask the audience not just to look but to enter into a dialogue of focus and reflection. In an age of distraction and dispersion, Raza’s work offers a luminous reminder that through concentration, form becomes meaning, and seeing becomes a path inward.
