Seeing from the Inside Out: Utkarsh Makwana

January 8-February 14, 2026

Akara Contemporary, 2nd Floor, 3C Amarchand Mansion, 16 Madam Cama Road, Colaba, Mumbai, India

Akara Contemporary presents Seeing from the Inside Out, a solo exhibition featuring the works of Utkarsh Makwana. Utkarsh Makwana’s practice locates archetypal tropes within ordinary and often overlooked moments. Unearthing universal archetypes embedded within mythological stories as well as daily encounters, his new body of paintings explores enduring themes of desire, ritual, secrecy, thought patterns, and impermanence. Adapting the intricate sensibilities of miniature painting traditions to larger scales, Makwana draws attention to the quiet dramas that structure human experience.
