Between Form and Silence – Solo Exhibition by Asha Shetty
Between Form and Silence is a solo exhibition by Mumbai-based contemporary artist Asha Shetty, presented at Jehangir Art Gallery, Kala Ghoda. The exhibition brings together recent works in acrylic and ink on canvas that move between abstraction and figuration, exploring states of balance, transition, and inward contemplation.
Shetty’s practice is grounded in rigorous training in drawing and painting, supported by formal study of Indian aesthetics. Her works do not follow narrative structures; instead, they invite slow looking and quiet engagement. Figures appear as inward-facing presences rather than portraits, existing as states of being. These are placed in dialogue with abstract structures, subtle geometric rhythms, and elements drawn from nature and ritual.
Material process plays a central role in the artworks. Working with acrylic, ink, collage, and layered textures, Shetty builds surfaces gradually through addition, erosion, and restraint. Marks remain visible, carrying traces of time and decision, while the balance between what is revealed and what is concealed is carefully maintained.
Colour, symmetry, and surface rhythm guide the viewer’s experience, creating compositions that hold stillness without becoming static. The artworks resist immediate interpretation, allowing meaning to unfold through sustained viewing.
The past year marks a new phase in Shetty’s artistic journey, where traditional sensibilities intersect with contemporary abstraction. ‘Between Form and Silence’ offers a reflective space within the gallery, inviting viewers to pause, observe, and engage with a visual language shaped by quiet intensity and considered restraint.
This show was inaugurated on 30th December 2025 by Honourable Guests – Mr. Surendra Jagtap, (Eminent Artist & Principal of J.K. Academy of Art & Design Mumbai), Mr. Prakash Bhise(Eminent Artist), Mr. Ganesh Hire(Renowned Artist), Virendra Chopde(Well-known artist).
