An artistic exploration of the seen and unseen
The Hindu
Gaze: Exploring Self & Beyond exhibition at Max Square, Noida, offers a reflective journey through art and emotion.
It takes intention and insight to create a space that speaks to both individual emotions and the collective. Gaze: Exploring Self & Beyond featuring artworks and sculptures by celebrated artists takes viewers on reflective journey through form, feeling and perspective. Presented by Anamkara Art in collaboration with Gaeaa Leonaa, a cultural organisation, the exhibition is on at Max Square, Noida.
How we see ourselves and move beyond the gaze is what the exhibition attempts to address in depth and with imagination. Each of the 17 pieces act as a mirror, not only of the artist’s vision but also of the viewer’semotional immersion.
“The idea is to help viewers experience the artist’s gaze and as well as their own,” says Ayush Arora, curator of the show. “In a world where we are constantly looking and being looked at, the exhibition aims to put a pause to enable self-introspection. The result is a compelling narrative of identity, memory, emotion, and transformation,” he adds.
Featuring the works of a diverse range of celebrated artists including Niladri Paul, Suvigya Sharma, Harsh Jalendra, Satadru Sovan Banduri, Nirakar Chowdhury, the exhibition spans mediums, regions, and storytelling techniques. “We chose artists for their ability to explore what is visible and what lies beneath,” says Arora. “The works are rooted in questions of selfhood, interconnection, and emotional landscapes.” From richly textured canvases to bold sculptural forms, the artworks differ in medium and style but are united by powerful storytelling and emotional depth.
The exhibition’s outdoor venue swathed in greenery amplifies the show’s thematic engagement with nature and humanity.
Visitors are drawn into an atmosphere where art feels alive and close. Blending traditional Indian craftsmanship with a fragmented, modern design, the works symbolize the relationship between people and the changing environment.
