Art Exposure presents Mark, Material, Memory, an exhibition showcasing recent works of artists Asim Paul and Surabhi Chowdhary. Paul and Chowdhary approach image-making through processes of quiet construction. Working with different mediums, both artists build their surfaces through gradual, deliberate gestures that prioritise texture, touch, and time. In doing so, they invite a slow looking — one that registers time as much as form.
In Asim Paul’s drawings, dense, layered marks accumulate across the surface. At first glance, these textures may appear mechanical, but closer observation reveals subtle shifts in direction, tone, and density. The image unfolds gradually through these micro-adjustments, where light and form emerge as conditions of texture itself.
Surabhi Chowdhary’s works are shaped by her encounters with light and nature—veins of leaves, nets filtering daylight, or fireflies flickering in the night sky. Using glue and putty to build subtle reliefs, she extends the painted surface into shallow dimensionality.
