This exhibition brings together the voices of Kalasakshi awardees in celebration of both artistic beginnings and the journeys that follow. Sameksha Gallery, committed to being a space for young voices, presents these works to remind us of the importance of pausing, looking closely, and reflecting on the passion that drives artists at the start of their paths.
Since its inception, Kalasakshi has recognized and supported emerging artists at a formative stage, when encouragement is most vital. By offering recognition and assistance to young graduates, the foundation has played an instrumental role in shaping over a dozen artists who have gone on to make their presence felt in today’s art world. In every line and brushstroke here, we see traces of that early trust and the growth it enabled.
Through the vision of Sameksha, this exhibition becomes more than a presentation of artworks—it is a celebration of belief in potential and of the courage of making. It honors the shared commitment of both institutions to nurture new voices and inspire conversations between artists, collectors, and audiences. To stand before these works is to witness not only what these artists have become, but what they continue to imagine.
