This solo exhibition explored sacred geometry and traditional motifs through a contemporary lens, seamlessly blending ancient mythology with modern perspectives. Featuring the work of Mayur and Tushar Vayeda, two of the most creative and versatile artistic voices emerging from the Warli community, the show charted the evolution of ancestral forms into bold, contemporary expressions. Known for their intricate visual language and use of organic materials, the Vayeda Brothers expanded the traditional boundaries of Warli art—which historically relied on a simple brown-and-white palette—transforming it into a poignant global narrative.
The exhibition was structured around three thematic pathways: Origin, which brought forth foundational traditional motifs and forms while illuminating the deep-rooted myths, local folklore and ancient stories that shaped the Warli cultural consciousness; Original, where the artists delved into the expansive potential of Warli art as a sophisticated visual language to map the mysteries of the community’s worldview and its profound connection to nature; and Experimentation, which challenged the boundaries of this age-old tradition through the artists’ latest multidimensional teakwood sculptures and use of water-based colours on cloth. These explorations were anchored by an impressive, custom 20-foot mural painted live at the gallery.
The works in this exhibition opened up worlds of new imagination, retaining ancient forms while depicting new realities. Each painting told its own story while holding multiple narratives, inviting viewers to discover layers of meaning within each piece. In this way, the exhibition not only honoured the Warli tradition but also reimagined its visual language for a contemporary, global context.
