From artists showing their work in India for the first time to legacy showcases, these five exhibitions offer art lovers a wide spectrum

It’s been a busy month for most galleries across India, buoyed by art weekends and a festival-packed calendar. While some, like Experimenter in Kolkata and Method in Mumbai, are showing the works of their respective artists for the first time, there are legacy exhibitions being presented by Prinseps and Masha Art. Plus, Kolkata’s Emami Art brings forth a stellar sculpture exhibition. Here’s more on them.

Skin to Skin by Bhasha Chakrabarti

For the New Haven-based artist’s first solo at Experimenter in Kolkata, Bhasha Chakrabarti looks at the intimacy and energy exhibited as beings come into contact with each other–both skin and body. While her practice, spanning oil paintings and textile art, underscores the relationship between body and cloth, through her works such as the The Intertwining I (2022) and Handfeel I & II (2022), she looks at the raw intimacy and the tangible energy that emanates from this sense of contact. 

Where: Experimenter, Ballygunge Place, Kolkata

On till: March 25
