INDIAN ART AT FRIEZE LONDON 2026🎹 The galleries, artists and presentations that caught our attention. From woodcut prints on recycled saris to painting, photography and sculptural installations, a look back at the Indian and South Asian galleries that brought distinct artistic perspectives to the international art fair.✹ Woodcuts, recycled saris and the stories of working women. At Frieze London’s Focus section, Jayeeta Chatterjee (@jayeeta_chatterjee_art) brought together woodcut prints on recycled sari scrolls and Nakshi Kantha quilting. Her works explored Bengali women’s working lives, with particular attention to labour, domestic spaces and everyday experiences that often go undocumented. By working with textiles and printmaking, Chatterjee turned familiar materials into carriers of stories, histories and lived realities. PC: Chemould CoLab When land holds the memory of conflict. Project 88 (@project88mumbai) brought together Anupam Roy, Poulomi Basu, Munem Wasif, Goutam Ghosh, Anpu Varkey, Amol K Patil and Srinath Iswaran. Their practices engaged with landscapes shaped by political violence, displacement, resistance and labour. From Basu’s photographs addressing Adivasi women’s resistance to Patil’s exploration of labour and working-class histories, the presentation raised questions about whose stories are recorded, whose are silenced, and how histories remain embedded in the spaces we inhabit. PC: Project 88 Works of Artist: Anupam Roy and Anpu Varkey Eight artists, moving between material, memory and lived experience. Experimenter (@experimenterkol) brought together Ayesha Sultana, Chanakya School, Kallol Datta, Kaveri Raina, Radhika Khimji, Sahil Naik, Sohrab Hura and Vikrant Bhise. Across distinct approaches to making and image-making, the presentation brought painting, photography, textiles, sculpture and installation into the conversation. The collective display offered a glimpse into the varied ways artists translate their ideas and experiences into material form. PC: Experimenter Nine artists, and a conversation across geographies. Jhaveri Contemporary (@jhavericontemporary) brought together Ali Kazim, Birender Yadav, Harde

Frieze - erotic flowers, eavesdropping dinosaur market gossip, flagrantly evil De Beers booth, treating the Nobu pop up as a zoo for the wealthy (them not enjoying that at all), beautiful work - glimpses of the sublime even - and a general feeling of despair about ‘the art world’, whatever that means

At first glance, they’re just so damn beautiful.. strange, colourful, organic forms that feel somewhere between a coral reef, a jungle and an alien garden. But the longer you look, the more you realise there’s a lot hiding beneath that beauty. Bodies, genital forms, architecture, questions around gender, sexuality and identity all woven into these fantastical landscapes. Maybe that’s why the work stays with you. Mumbai-based, born in 1995, with a BFA in Sculptures from SAIC (School of the Art Institute of Chicago) @vinitamungisculpture has built a practice around ceramics that feels distinctly her own ⭐ And right now, her work is a part of Gardens of Imagination at @chemouldcolab

@prachipop.art, @indiaartfair_ycp and I are actually BFFs. They just don’t know it yet. It’s mostly in my head and I’m very happy there. The conversations w Prachi and Yukti about all things art are always SO FUN!!!! Ok so when the first art hop was announced, I was probably one of the first people to sign up. And it was AMAZING! And then came the second one, and somehow I loved this one even more Definitely because this time we were going deeper into the layers, peeling them back a little and immersing ourselves more in it. Met the artists, got to talk about their work, the mediums, their inspirations, their processes, and just generally geek out about art with a bunch of people who were equally excited to be there :D Spent the entire evening talking to people left, right and centre. About art, about artists, about what we saw, about what we could go see next, about what we could do with art. Basically, I did not shut up 😂 (proudly) And yk what’s the biggest proof that this was way too amazing? I came home and STILL had the energy to talk to my friends about everything that I saw on the walk Fully enjoying finding my people in this new cityđŸ€đŸ€đŸ€ K bye now I gotta go back to these galleries individually and actually spend some proper time with each one đŸ„°đŸ„°đŸ„°

I was so late to this opening, it’s a miracle that I wasn’t kicked out. @sreyansisingh you’ve done a marvelous job, and the dramatic jewel box lighting is amazing. Always a super fan of textiles but with @chanakya.school @shradhakochhar @_neeraj32187 and @ud140792 it’s bound to be a tasty meal. @jayeeta_chatterjee_art is always in my list of top artists.

Each year, Chemould CoLab runs a Summer-Monsoon Residency Programme, allowing visitors to pop by the gallery space to experience the rigor behind making the work. “For me the most rewarding part is the energy the artists bring into the gallery space with their creativity in action,” says founder Atyaan Jungalwala. Go watch artist Jayeeta Chatterjee do her thing; with an MFA in Printmaking from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, she revitalises Nakshi Kantha embroidery of Bengal with a contemporary twist, by integrating it with woodcut print. Until September ‘26 at Chemould CoLab, Colaba. #ad

Ice creams and candles don’t usually carry this much weight. But for Rachita Dutta, childhood objects are the only vocabulary honest enough for adult feelings. Her embroidered works translate private emotional states into something vivid, a little wry, and quietly precise, traditional floral embroidery from Jammu and Kashmir doing the heavy lifting. Pop art on the surface. Something heavier underneath. “Did He Do It” by Rachita Dutta. Image Source: Artist’s Website.
