Great Banyan Art presents Paper Alchemy: Tracing Memories Through Time, a group show unveiling their private collection of works on paper for the first time. Showcasing over 100 exceptional works from the 18th to 21st century, this exhibition explores the deep connection between paper as a medium and artistic expression in India. Through this delicate yet resilient material, the exhibition highlights paper’s ability to preserve stories, evoke memories, and serve as a powerful medium for artistic exploration.
This carefully curated selection spans major movements in Indian art — including the Company School, the Bengal School, the Progressive Artists’ Group, the Madras Art Movement, and Contemporary practices — providing a rare opportunity to witness the evolution of artistic engagement with paper across generations and aesthetic philosophies. The exhibition showcases the remarkable versatility of paper through diverse techniques including watercolour, gouache, tempera, acrylic, lithography, etching, aquatint, serigraphy and photography.
