Founded in Mumbai in 2026 by Sunaina Rajan, Gallery Maxima is a contemporary art gallery
dedicated to the work of emerging and mid-career South Asian artists working in India and
across the globe. The gallery works closely with artists at formative stages of their careers,
supporting rigorous and evolving practices across painting, sculpture, textiles, craft, and new
media.
Its programme foregrounds artists whose work engages with the materials, histories, landscapes,
and lived realities of the region, while contributing to broader conversations within
contemporary art. Through its exhibitions, Gallery Maxima seeks to create meaningful
connections between artists, collectors, and audiences, fostering deeper engagement with
contemporary art from South Asia.
Housed within Kitab Mahal, a historic building in Mumbai's Fort district, the gallery brings
together the character of its architectural setting with the flexibility of a contemporary exhibition
space, providing a platform for new perspectives from across South Asia and its diaspora.
