Art SG

For ART SG 2026, Ashvita’s presents a group of contemporary Indian artists whose practices reflect the country’s expanding presence in the global art conversation. The presentation includes works by Thukral & Tagra, Raghava K.K., C. Krishnaswamy, G. Gurunathan, Maanas Udayakumar, and Jagath Ravi -artists who, while rooted in their individual contexts, speak through a language that is deeply contemporary and universally resonant. Over the last two decades, contemporary art from India has moved beyond the frameworks of region or identity. Artists today engage with shared human experiences - technology, memory, urban life, intimacy, environment, and play- using forms and ideas that connect effortlessly with audiences anywhere in the world. The artists represented here embody this shift: their works are not defined by geography but by imagination and thought. From the conceptualand media-rich works of Thukral & Tagra to the expressive, intuitive canvases of Raghava KK, and from Gurunathan and Krishnaswamy’s material explorations to the quiet, reflective paintings of Maanas Udayakumar and Jagath Ravi, the selection reveals a broad spectrum of artistic voices. Each approaches the world with curiosity and openness, offering windows into the shared emotionsand questions that define contemporary life. Through this presentation, Ashvita’s hopes to extend the dialogue of contemporary Indian art across Southeast Asia and the wider world. The booth becomes a meeting point between cultures, where the stories and forms of India find echoes in global sensibilities - affirming that contemporary art,wherever it is made, belongs to a single, interconnected world.
