Exhibition Details

Aicon is pleased to announce Beneath the Surface, the second solo exhibition of Mumbai-based abstractionist Sheetal Gattani in our New York gallery. Following her 2019 debut Unmaking Space, this exhibition marks a significant evolution in Gattani’s practice that expands her exploration of abstract space to include a dynamic three-dimensionality, introducing works that break free from the flat plane and emerge in layered segments.
Known for her meticulous layering and the use of texture as a means of narrative, Gattani’s works invite the viewer to engage deeply with the material and time-manifested processes at play. Her process is both meditative and methodical: layer after layer of acrylic paint is applied to an unstretched canvas. For Gattani, “Painting is a process of mapping tangles of thoughts into a silence—a way of centering oneself through experience.
