Yogesh Adkine is a distinguished contemporary Indian multidisciplinary artist and printmaker based in Mumbai, Maharashtra. His practice is defined by a profound investigation into the paradox of human emotions, exploring situations where two opposing realities exist simultaneously as the fundamental truths we inhabit. A graduate with a rigorous foundation in traditional printmaking and painting, Adkine has become a prominent voice in the Mumbai art circuit, frequently showcasing his work at prestigious venues like the Jehangir Art Gallery and as a key member of the Samvaya artist collective.

Central to Adkine’s philosophy is the use of ancient architectural forms as metaphors for the internal human landscape. He views architecture not merely as a functional or utility space, but as a sacred vessel where memories and experiences are forged. In his work, each structural element serves as a bridge to a specific “essence,” allowing the viewer to connect with the piece through their own subconscious history. By prioritizing this intuitive bond, he invites the audience to find personal meaning within the work’s “structural silence” without the need for a predetermined narrative.

His recent works explore the duality between rigid physical structures and the fluid vulnerability of memory, establishing a silent dialogue between the built environment and the complexities of human feeling. Through his versatile use of texture and form, Adkine remains a critical practitioner dedicated to uncovering the deep, individual connections people maintain with the spaces they inhabit.
