Cartographies of the Inner World brings together seven artists whose practices navigate the intimate relationship between inner experience and the external world. Featuring works by Dimpy Menon, Rakhee Shenoy, Veenita Chendvankar, Payal Rokade, Bakula Nayak, Priyanka Aelay, and Nidhi Mariam Jacob, the exhibition unfolds as a visual meditation on memory, nature, identity, and emotional resonance. Together, these artists create a shared language that is both deeply personal and universally evocative.Though each artist works from a distinct perspective, common threads emerge throughout the exhibition. Some turn toward nature as a site of reflection, while others engage with memory, mythology, and lived experience as a way of mapping the self. Across painting, sculpture, and printmaking, the works reveal worlds that are contemplative, layered, and fluid—spaces where reality gives way to imagination and inner landscapes become visible. Delicate forms, symbolic imagery, and nuanced materiality invite viewers into moments of stillness, encouraging a slower and more attentive way of seeing.From Payal Rokade’s dreamlike printmaking and Veenita Chendvankar’s poetic painterly worlds to Dimpy Menon’s graceful sculptural forms and Bakula Nayak’s intimate assemblages, the exhibition presents a rich spectrum of artistic voices. The lush natural imagery of Priyanka Aelay and Nidhi Mariam Jacob, alongside Rakhee Shenoy’s layered visual narratives, expands the conversation between personal memory and collective experience. Each work becomes a point of connection between the internal and the external, the remembered and the imagined.Presented by KYNKYNY Art Gallery, Cartographies of the Inner World reflects the gallery’s continued commitment to championing contemporary Indian art through thoughtful curation and meaningful dialogue.
