Mosaic of Modernity 3 comes to a close.

As we conclude the third edition of Mosaic of Modernity, we look back with immense gratitude at the journey this exhibition has taken.

It began at Princess Academy, Palace Grounds, as part of Maini Divas 2026, where more than 10,000 visitors experienced the works of our participating artists. From there, the exhibition found a second home at the Sandeep & Gitanjali Maini Foundation Gallery, where visitors were able to engage with the artworks in a quieter, more reflective setting.

Our sincere thanks go to every artist, visitor, collector, friend and supporter who became part of this journey. Your encouragement continues to strengthen our commitment to creating meaningful platforms for emerging and contemporary artists.

As one chapter closes, another begins.

We are delighted to share that Mosaic of Modernity 4 is already in the works, and we look forward to welcoming you once again for another celebration of creativity, diversity and artistic expression.

With warm regards,

The Team at the Sandeep & Gitanjali Maini Foundation

Every artist begins with a different point of departure.

In Mosaic of Modernity 3, three distinctive contemporary voices reveal how personal experience can be transformed into powerful visual language.

Pavan Attavar explores rhythm, music and movement through richly layered compositions that resonate with warmth and emotion. Aditi Akash creates meditative works rooted in intricate pattern, symmetry and quiet contemplation, where traditional decorative vocabulary finds a contemporary expression. Abhishek Pandey reimagines familiar streets and architectural spaces through colour, geometry and perspective, inviting viewers to rediscover the poetry hidden within everyday landscapes.

Together, their practices demonstrate the breadth of contemporary Indian art—where memory, culture and imagination converge to create works that are both deeply personal and universally engaging.

Experience these artists at Mosaic of Modernity 3.

Abstraction speaks in many voices.

Mosaic of Modernity 3 brings together a remarkable group of contemporary abstract artists, each with a distinctly personal visual language.

From richly textured surfaces and expressive gestural mark-making to lyrical landscapes, sculptural forms, layered compositions and bold explorations of colour, these artists remind us that abstraction is not the absence of meaning—it is an invitation to experience emotion, memory and imagination without boundaries.

This edition features works by Kapila Nahendra, Poornima Dayal, Shikha Thambi, Shreya Dhawal and Sonali S. Iyengar, whose diverse practices together create a vibrant dialogue on contemporary abstraction.

Join us at Mosaic of Modernity 3 as we celebrate artists who transform colour, texture and form into compelling visual experiences.

Mosaic of Modernity 3
Exploring Diversity in Art

Every artist deserves not only a studio, but an audience.
For the third edition of Mosaic of Modernity, the Sandeep & Gitanjali Maini Foundation once again brings together ten contemporary artists whose practices reflect the diversity, experimentation and individuality shaping Indian art today.
Presented as part of Maini Divas 2026, this exhibition places emerging artistic voices before an invited audience of over 5,000–10,000 visitors across the day—creating an exceptional platform for visibility, conversation and discovery.
The journey does not end there. Following Maini Divas, the exhibition will continue at the Sandeep & Gitanjali Maini Foundation for the week, allowing visitors and collectors to engage with the works beyond the event itself and extending meaningful exposure for each participating artist.
At SGMF, we believe that supporting artists is not simply about exhibiting their work—it is about creating opportunities for their practice to be seen, appreciated and remembered.

Display Suggestions | Rajarajan (1964–2025)

A South Indian modernist who translated indigenous visual traditions into a contemporary painted language, Rajarajan created works that are at once rooted, rhythmic, and remarkably adaptable to modern interiors.

This series of four works, each measuring 22 × 32 inches, demonstrates how a thoughtfully curated grouping can transform a living or working space. Presented together, the paintings create a visual dialogue—balancing colour, pattern, figure, and narrative—while retaining the individuality of each work.

At SGMF, we often encourage collectors to think beyond a single artwork and consider how a cohesive series can shape the atmosphere of a room. Whether displayed in a residence, private office, library, or hospitality setting, Rajarajan’s works bring warmth, character, and a distinctly South Indian visual sensibility into contemporary spaces.

A possible display concept is illustrated here, followed by the individual works that form the series.

The Scribble Series

What begins as a scribble becomes an animal.

In this remarkable body of work, Sai Akhil Anand builds form through thousands of looping, restless lines. Rather than outlining an animal and filling it in, he allows the image to emerge gradually through repeated marks, creating volume, texture and presence through movement alone.

A rhinoceros stands watchful in the grasslands. A hippopotamus rises from the water in full voice. A mountain goat family gathers in quiet companionship.

Each creature is constructed from an intricate web of lines that feels spontaneous up close, yet resolves into striking clarity from a distance.

The technique is deceptively simple. The result is deeply observed.

At fifteen, Sai demonstrates an instinctive understanding that drawing is not merely about describing a subject, but discovering it — line by line, mark by mark.

The Cuddle Series

Not every animal story is about the wild.

Some are about comfort.
Some are about companionship.
Some are simply about joy.

In this charming group of works from Bindu & Rekha, Sai Akhil Anand turns his attention to moments of affection and connection. A panda cradles a brightly coloured ball. An otter holds close to its treasured companion. And finally, the much-loved "Punch Monkey" clings tightly to an orangutan friend in a gesture that feels instantly familiar.

There is a sweetness to these works that goes beyond observation. They remind us that curiosity, playfulness, attachment, and love are not uniquely human emotions.

At fifteen years of age, Sai brings a refreshing honesty to his subjects, capturing not only how animals look, but how they make us feel.

Seeing Pattern Before Animal

In these striking works from Bindu & Rekha, Sai Akhil Anand turns to the zebra — perhaps nature's most extraordinary study in line, rhythm, and repetition.

Set against bold bands of red, white, and green, the familiar animal becomes something more. Individual forms emerge, overlap, disappear, and reappear, inviting the viewer to look beyond representation and into the language of pattern itself.

The zebra is not merely the subject here. It is the medium through which Sai explores perception, movement, and visual harmony.

At fifteen years of age, he demonstrates an instinctive understanding of how simple marks can create complex worlds — where order and imagination exist side by side.

Discipline Beyond the Chessboard

Many know Sai Akhil Anand as the son of Grandmaster Viswanathan Anand.

What becomes evident while viewing these works, however, is a discipline that belongs entirely to the artist himself.

Every composition is built mark by mark, to create a feeling of depth. The talent at just 15 years is remarkable. The result is a body of work that balances precision with imagination.

In Bindu & Rekha, observation becomes art.

On view from 14th until 30 June 2026.

Rhythm Before Representation

Before an animal appears, there is a rhythm.

Thousands of dots and dashes come together patiently, creating patterns that slowly transform into form. What first appears abstract begins to reveal a zebra, a panda, a bird, or a horse.

For Sai Akhil Anand, drawing is not simply about depicting animals—it is about discovering structure, movement, and harmony through repetition.

At just fifteen years of age, he has developed a visual language that is distinctly his own.
