“ONE X ONE: BEYOND THE SMALL SCALE”
(A Group Exhibition)

Curated by: Saurabh Singh

“ONE X ONE” celebrates the profound impact of small-scale artworks, bringing together a distinguished array of pieces by legendary artists like Amit Ambalal and Anupam Sud, alongside the vibrant creations of young talents such as Harendra Kushwaha and Purvai Rai. This exhibition offers an unique exploration of how the ‘small’ can inspire, challenge, and transform the ‘big.’

In the realm of art, ‘small’ embodies a powerful philosophical paradox. Small artworks hold immense significance and impact, convey profound meaning and evoke strong emotions, challenging the idea that larger size equates to greater importance, urging viewers to delve deeper, look closer, and discover the extraordinary within the ordinary. Each artwork in “ONE X ONE” *represents a microcosm, a meticulously crafted universe contained within the confines of a limited medium. These small pieces, ranging from 3.5 to 14 inches, compel an intimate interaction, demanding our focused attention and rewarding it with rich, intricate narratives.

Generally, significance of small-scale artworks lies in their ability to condense vast worlds into limited spaces. This exhibition demonstrates how the constraint of size can enhance creativity, pushing artists to distill their visions with precision and clarity. In this concentrated form, every brushstroke, line, and choice of color carries heightened meaning, transforming the small into a repository of profound expression.

“ONE X ONE” presents a dialogue between the past and the present, illustrating the evolution of artistic practices. From the whimsical insights of Amit Ambalal, the intricate poignancy of Anupam Sud’s prints, to the innovative perspectives of Harendra Kushwaha and Purvai Rai,’ this collection showcases a rich spectrum of styles and mediums. Each artist, regardless of their era, finds power in the small, using it as a medium for innovation and introspection.

In a world often obsessed with the monumental, “ONE X ONE” invites us to reconsider the small. It reminds us that the essence of greatness often lies in the details, that within the smallest frames, entire worlds can be captured and conveyed. These artworks, though modest in size, serve as a powerful testament to the limitless potential of creativity and the enduring relevance of the miniature.

“ONE X ONE” is a celebration of the small as a catalyst for inspiration and transformation. It is an invitation to witness how the compact can hold the infinite, proving that sometimes, the most impactful stories are told in the smallest spaces.
