POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I am so looking forward to welcoming back to New York, my long time collaborator, and dear, dear friend, Priyantha Udagedara for his second solo exhibition at Aicon Contemporary “Earthly Paradise”, opening on November 4th, 2026. The show will be on view through December 12th, 2026.

Udagedara’s work explores themes of colonial history, cultural memory, and the relationship between nature and human intervention. His art often delves into the complexities of postcolonial identity, using nature as a symbolic medium to address the lingering impacts of colonialism while celebrating the resilience and beauty of the natural world.

He has a PHD in Philosophy in Contemporary Fine Art Practice, as well as a Master’s Degree in Contemporary Art and Design Practice from the Faculty of Arts and Design, Leeds Metropolitan University.

I look forward to spending some time with my friend!

Please join me in celebrating the culmination of a twenty year long conversation, with the opening of the solo exhibition by T. V. Santhosh “ When The World Enters Your Home” at Aicon Contemporary, on November 4th, 2026. The show will be on view through December 12th, 2026.  I first encountered @tvsanthosh18 in 2006 when he participated in a group show at Aicon Gallery @aicongallery, titled KAAM. We stayed in touch, Santhosh attended an art camp we hosted and we started talking about a solo. Much water has flown under the bridge, Santhosh has evolved as a painter, retaining his virtuosity while zooming out and taking in more and more of the world. It is such an incredible and profound joy to finally open an exhibition that has been just around the corner for two decades.

T.V. Santhosh is a contemporary Indian artist whose practice examines violence, conflict, politics and the manipulation of imagery through mass media. Trained initially in Painting at Kala Bhavana, Vishwa Bharati, Santiniketan, he later earned a Master’s degree in Sculpture from M.S. University, Baroda. Working across painting, sculpture and installation, Santhosh frequently draws from news photography and popular visual culture, transforming contemporary events into psychologically charged, politically reflective works.

Santhosh has exhibited extensively at major international institutions and biennales and we are so excited to present his first solo exhibition with Aicon Contemporary, in collaboration with The Guild @theguildartgallery.  #tvsanthosh #aicongallery #aiconcotemporary #indiancontemporaryart #desinewyork

The giddy energy of setting up for an art fair, especially The Armory Show, meshes well with the time lapse format. Here is our booth taking shape. Tomorrow it will be calm, today its tempest.
